Potable Water Pipe Sizing According to EN 806
Potable Water Pipe Sizing According to EN 806
This tool enables pressure loss analysis for potable water installation pipes inside buildings in accordance with the
EN 806
standard. Depending on the pipe material (steel or PPRC), parameters such as diameter, flow rate, and friction loss per unit length (mH₂O, mmH₂O, bar, mbar, Pa, kPa/m) can be easily calculated. It provides fast and reliable results for plumbing design projects, improving engineering efficiency.
