Installation in piping with larger nominal diameter

1 Reducer
Figure 10: Using reducers
Determine the resulting pressure loss when using reducers:
1. Determine diameter ratios d/D.
2. .Determine the flow velocity based on the flow rate
nomogram (Figure 11).
3. Read the pressure loss on the Y-axis in Figure 11.
