Installation technology: losses in different pipes

When flow passes through pipes, pressure losses occur due to the friction between the pipe wall and the water. The pressure loss is directly dependent on the surface roughness of the pipe inner wall, and thus on the material used. In addition, the pressure loss is affected by the flow velocity and the cross-sectional area being flowed through.
