Compressed Air Pipe Sizing

Compressed air pipe sizing data for Schedule 40 carbon steel distribution piping — pressure drop (psi/100 ft), maximum flow capacity (SCFM at <1 psi/100ft), and pipe velocity at supply pressures 90/100/125/150 psig for nominal pipe sizes 0.5 inch through 6 inch. Also includes fitting equivalent lengths (90-deg elbow, 45-deg elbow, tee-branch, tee-run, gate valve, ball valve) per Crane TP-410 L/D method. Pressure drops computed via CAGI empirical formula dp=7.57*q^1.85*L*1e4/(d^5*p). Per CAGI Compressed Air & Gas Handbook 6th Ed, Atlas Copco Compressed Air Manual 8th Ed, Kaeser Engineering Guide.
