Darcy Weisbach head loss calculator - equation & step by step calculation to find the fluid head loss due to friction between pipe and fluid along the pipe's length. hf = [fD x (L/D) x (V2/2 x g)]. The Darcy friction factor fD, pipe length L in meter, pipe diameter D in meter, fluid flow average velocity V in meter/sec & standard gravity g = 9.81 m/s2 are the key terms of this calculation.

Darcy Weisbach Formula

In mechanical engineering, the below mathematical formula is used to calculate the fluid head loss due to friction between pipe and fluid.
