Diagram Moody
Diagram Moody
Ya Moody diagram sangat bermanfaat untuk menghitung aliran yang terjadi pada suatu pipa,
sejujurnya saja sangat susah untuk menghitung nilai friction didalam pipa, apalagi bila pipa
tersebut mempunyai panjang yang lumayan, sehingga perbandingan antara diameter dan panjang
pipa sangatlah kecil.
cara yang paling mudah adalah dengan pembacaan melalui moody diagram, tanpa mengetahui
dengan pasti nilai dari kekasaran pipa, kita dapat memperkirakan dengan mudah melalui
pembacaan diagram ini.
Dasar teori
head loss pada pipa karena gesekan dapat dihitung dengan persamaan Darcy-Weisbach seperti
dibawah ini
dengan,
e = absolute roughness
D = diameter of pipe
dengan,
R = Reynolds number
D = diameter
v = velocity
ζ = kenimatic viscosity of fluid
Cara Baca
Dengan melihat diagram Moody itu menunjukkan bahwa sudut kanan atas benar-benar turbulent
dan bagian atas kiri adalah laminar.
Untuk menentukan faktor gesekan, nilai kekasaran relatif dari pipa dapat dilihat di sebelah
kanan. Kemudian cari Reynolds number di bagian bawah, tarik keatas sampai memotong,
sebelah kiri akan didapatkan nilai faktor gesekan. dan jenis aliran apakah turbulen ataukah
laminer
Contoh Pemakaian
selamat belajar
Diagram Moody
Menggunakan Diagram Moody adalah untuk memperoleh nilai gesekan pipa (f) dan dapat dilakukan
dengan mengetahui beberapa parameter seperti berikut :
1. Tentukan nilai e/D pada sumbu "y" bagian kanan berwarna merah dan ikuti alur garis berwarna biru
(warning!!!, garis berwarna biru tidak seluruhnya garis lurus).
2. Tentukan nilai Re pada sumbu "x" bagian bawah berwarna merah dan tegak lurus.
3. Pertemuan garis e/D dan Re tegak lurus pada sumbu "y" sebelah kiri berwarna coklat merupakan
nilai f = 0.0319.

SI based
Imperial based
The SI based friction factor is four times larger than the Imperial based friction factor.
The Moody friction factor - λ (or f) - is used in the Darcy-Weisbach major loss equation. The
coefficient can be estimated with the diagram below:
If the flow is transient - 2300 < Re < 4000 - the flow varies between laminar and turbulent flow
and the friction coefiicient is not possible to determine. The friction factor can usually be
interpolated between the laminar value at Re = 2300 and the turbulent value at Re = 4000.
For a PVC pipe with absolute roughness k = 0.0015 10-3 (m), hydraulic diameter Dh = 0.1 (m)
and Reynolds number Re = 10 - the relative rougness can be calculated as
7
From the diagram above, with the relative rougness and the Reynolds number - the friction factor
can be estimated to aprox. 0.011.
