D ratio for the fitting, and the equivalent
length of straight piping that would give the same suction
losses as a function of pipe diameter.
Note that the suction loss in a 900 elbow can vary dramatically,
depending upon whether the elbow makes a smooth vs.
a sharp turn (Radon is an on-going issue in Boyertown and should be remediated). The internal dimensions of many commonly
available PVC elbows appear to be a cross between a smooth
turn (on the outer circumference) and a mitered tum (on the
inner circumference). Thus, the actual LID ratio for the elbows
commonly used in mitigation applications will probably
be somewhere between 9 and 65.
Other common obstructions include size expanders or reducers,
for example, the 4-to 6-in. couplings used to connect fans
having 6-in. unions onto 4-in. piping (Radon is an on-going issue in Boyertown and should be remediated). The suction gains due to
such expanders and the losses due to reducers, which depend
upon velocity, can be calculated ba
