Re: Equivalent length for fittings
.
Most of the refrigeration text books will have tables showing the approximate resistance of common fittings expressed as an equivalent length of pipe.
The ASHRAE Handbooks, the ARI Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Handbooks should have them and finally try Japanese manufacturers’ technical data for VRF equipment, as it is a design component in those types of systems.
As it’s an approximation, you may find variance in the various tables that are available.

At college they told us to add 1 metre for each 90.

Re: Equivalent length for fittings
Short turn or long turn, makes a whole difference and it depends also on the size of the lines.

It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

If it is not readable enough, I will rescan it in a higher then75 dpi resolution and post it on an external server.
This was the max allowable dpi without exceeding 100 kb.It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Re: Equivalent length for fittings
For the best data on fitting pressure drops, get the Crane Technical Paper 410.
This includes all fittings and many different types of valves.
Crane even have software that you can use to browse fittings.
