Pipe Sizing Chart

This document is a chart showing the head loss in feet or meters per hundred feet or meters of pipe for various pipe sizes and flow rates. It applies to plastic PVC and polyethylene pipes. The chart lists nominal pipe diameters from 1/2 inch to 6 inches and flow rates from 1 to 200 gallons or liters per minute. For each pipe size and flow rate combination it shows the expected head loss, with higher losses for smaller pipes or higher flow rates. It notes that velocities over 5 feet per second may require caution.
