Water • Hydraulics Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)

Pipe Head Loss (Hazen–Williams / Darcy–Weisbach)

Friction head loss and pressure drop in a water line by two methods.

What this workbook is

A real, downloadable Microsoft Excel workbook — not a rendered demo. Every sheet is built around a single engineering method: inputs in one place, calculated results and a PASS / WARN / FAIL check sheet, with the method, sources and assumptions recorded next to the numbers. Open it in Excel, Sheets or LibreOffice, change the inputs, and the workbook recalculates.

  • Light cells are user-entered inputs on the Inputs sheet.
  • Dark cells are calculated automatically and are not editable.
  • The method and sources for every calculation are listed below and inside the workbook.

What you enter

  • Flow
  • Pipe length, diameter & material
  • Roughness

What it calculates

  • Velocity
  • Head loss (m)
  • Pressure drop (bar)

Method

Hazen–Williams and/or Darcy–Weisbach with Colebrook friction factor
