For each bend, create a blank results table similar to Table 9. Find the kinematic viscosity of the water the measured temperature. For each flow rate:  Convert piezometers readings for the five bends (including the mitre and elbow) into meters of water. Ignore any results that produce piezometer differences of less than 20 mm, as reading errors increase at these points and produce unwanted scatter graphs. Calculate the flow velocity using equation and Reynolds number using equation.  Calculate V2/2g. Find the friction factor from the Moody chart. Calculate the loss due to the pipework hF using equation .  Subtract hF from your actual piezometer readings hL to get the loss due to the bend hB
