1. The spreadsheet can be used for pipes for other diameters or class (pressure) ratings not shown in the PIA Stockwater Hand
2. The tab below labeled 'BLANK' can be used to compute headloss and velocities by entering pipe
specifics at the top of the page and then entering the Nominal Size, OD, and ID in the green cells.
3. The C value for the selected pipe can also be entered in the green cell.
4. Changing the flowrate value in column A will compute new results.
5. Velocities over 5 feet per second USE WITH CAUTION.
6. Joints and other fittings can contribute greatly to pressure loss. Of particular concern is insert barbed fittings for HDPE - the
represent a sudden contraction and expansion and reduce the flow cross section from that of the pipe. Best practice is to butt
weld HDPE at joints.
