Question:

In a given installation, it is determined that the pipe size used for the project was 1-in Schedule 40 pipe rather than the 2 in size that was specified. Some have said that it won’t be a problem since a factor of two was built into the system anyway. Others say it must be changed. If the run is 100-ft of horizontal pipe carrying 150 gal/min of water at 60°F, find the head loss for each size pipe and comment on the difference that results from this mistake at the construction site.
