dP Pressure Drop
Welcome
What is dP
dP (Delta P) or Pressure Drop, is a small and easy to use computer program that performs simple Pressure Drop Calculations for pipe work. It determines parameters such as Reynolds, Fluid velocity, Average Residence Time, etcetera which are are presented in a clear fashion. The Pressure Drop calculation takes into account other components as well. It requests the user for input about bends, elbows and other appendages or equipment components, which induce extra pressure loss. The program represents the total resistance in terms of equivalent pipe length values.
In fluid mechanics, the Reynolds number (Re) is a dimensionless number that gives a measure of the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces (µ/L).
The program is available in the English, Dutch and French language. Only SI (metric) units are supported
