Calculating pressure loss in piping systems with the Equivalent Pipe Length Method An efficient and simple way to calculate the pressure loss in a piping system is the "Equivalent Pipe Length Method".
In the very simply circulating system used in this example, the first pipe section goes from the pump, splits into the two sections - two and four. Section two and four merges back to pipe three that goes back to the pump.
