| \(\large{ p_l = \frac { \mu \; l \; v_a{^2} \; \rho } {24 \; d \; g } }\) | ||
| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \(\large{ p_l }\) = air pressure loss | \(\large{\frac{lbf}{ft^2}}\) | \(\large{Pa}\) |
| \(\large{ \rho }\) (Greek symbol rho) = density of air | \(\large{\frac{lbm}{ft^3}}\) | \(\large{\frac{kg}{m^3}}\) |
| \(\large{ \mu }\) (Greek symbol mu) = friction coefficient of air | \(\large{dimensionless}\) | |
| \(\large{ v_a }\) = air velocity | \(\large{\frac{ft}{sec}}\) | \(\large{\frac{m}{s}}\) |
| \(\large{ g }\) = gravitational acceleration | \(\large{\frac{ft}{sec^2}}\) | \(\large{\frac{m}{s^2}}\) |
| \(\large{ d }\) = pipe inside diameter | \(\large{in}\) | \(\large{mm}\) |
| \(\large{ l }\) = length of pipe | \(\large{ft}\) | \(\large{m}\) |
