Flow performance is of the utmost importance in piping system design; an optimal design will reduce capital, installation, and operating costs. This flow calculator allows the user to easily determine critical flow properties (flow rate, velocity, friction loss, etc.) of thermoplastic piping systems, and facilitates a rapid comparison between alternate pipe materials.
