API RP 14E Weymouth Gas Piping Pressure Loss Equation

Calculate API RP 14E gas piping pressure loss from the Weymouth equation.

The Weymouth equation was developed for fully developed turbulent flow in long pipelines. It is not suitable for low Reynolds number, or short piping sections. Minor losses are used to account for pipeline fittings such as bends, tees, valves etc. Compare the results for the Weymouth equation, the general equation (Moody diagram), and the Panhandle A and B equations.
