## Hazen-Williams Formula **h_f = 10.67 x (Q / C)^1.852 / D^4.8655 x L** This empirical formula is widely used for water distribution systems. C is the roughness coefficient (150 for new PVC, 130 for copper, 100 for old steel). Results are in feet of head; multiply by 0.4333 for psi.

15 GPM through 1-inch copper (C=130) for 100 feet.

  1. 01h_f/100ft = 10.67 x (15/130)^1.852 / (1/12)^4.8655
  2. 02Compute numerator and denominator using the formula
  3. 03Total head loss for 100 ft is approximately 12.5 ft
  4. 04Pressure loss = 12.5 x 0.4333 = 5.42 psi
