Pipeline Pressure Loss Calculator

This program calculates the dynamic pressure loss in a pipe due to turbulence and internal friction. The Colebrook-White and Darcy-Weisbach formulas are used to compute the result given the essential characteristics of the pipe and fluid. The result is in the form of a pressure over the distance value specified. Hovering the mouse over each field label will show the typical value ranges for each input field. The user can select which ever units for each input field they are familiar with. A running log is kept at the bottom to show the calculations performed in each session.
