HydroCalc
Head Loss Calculator
Calculate head loss, flow, or pipe size using Hazen-Williams equation
About this App
HydroCalc is a powerful yet easy-to-use mobile calculator designed for engineers, technicians, and students in the fields of hydraulic design, irrigation, water treatment, plumbing, and solar pumping systems.
With HydroCalc, you can quickly calculate head loss in pipes using the Hazen-Williams equation and account for both pipe friction and minor losses from fittings.
💧 Features:
•Calculate total head loss from pipe length, flow, diameter, and roughness
•Use SI (metric) or US units easily
•Add minor loss coefficient (K) to include fittings and valves
•See flow velocity, friction loss, and total head loss instantly
•Inverse calculations: calculate required pipe diameter, max flow, or max pipe length from a head loss limit
🔄 Inverse Calculations:
•Calculate the required pipe diameter for a given head loss
•Find the maximum flow rate allowed for a pipe
•Determine the maximum pipe length to stay under a head loss constraint
Whether you're sizing a pipeline or checking a design in the field, HydroCalc puts hydraulic calculations in your pocket.
