| On-Line Liquid Friction Loss for any Pipe Size | On-Line Gas Friction Loss for any Pipe Size |
| This application determines the pressure loss due to friction in any sized straight pipe or tube. This is useful when dealing with very small piping or tubing or for flow though small channels. This application is only applicable for straight pipes, and cannot accommodate losses due to fittings and valves (it does include inlet and outlet losses though). If standard sized piping is being used then the application above "On-Line Friction Piping Loss" should be used. | This application determines the compressible gas pressure loss due to friction in any sized straight pipe or tube.
