Nominal diameters of Galvanised (GI) pipes are specified on the basis of internal diameter
The data to be entered in this template is the internal diameter and the roughness
Spreadsheet will then return values of relative roughness (k/d) and Reynolds number (Re)
The friction factor depends on relative roughness (k/d) and Reynolds number (Re)
The value of friction factor 4f should be verified from Moody diagram
The correct value of 4f should then be entered to improve the accuracy of the results
The DoWD recommended flow velocity regime is shown inside the box
