All parameters given for a distribution main
Hazen Williams Friction
Calculates head loss and equivalent pressure loss for pressurised water flow using the Hazen-Williams equation. The template converts flow and diameter to SI units, reports hydraulic gradient, and supports water distribution and fire-service pipe checks.
