E-3 Friction Loss of Pulp Suspensions in Pipe

APPENDIX C

Table 2

NOTES:

1. When metric (SI) units are utilized, use the value of K given in parentheses. When the metric values are used, diameter (D) must be in millimetres (mm) and velocity must be in metres per second (m/s).
2. Original data obtained in stainless steel and PVC pipe (7,8, 9).
3. No safety factors are included in the above correlations.
4. The friction loss depends considerably on the condition of the inside of the pipe surface (10).
5. Wood is New Zealand Kraft pulp.
