Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)
1. Use of pressure drop charts based on 60° F water will consistently overestimate the pressure drop in hydronic piping circuits because the water will usually be at higher temperatures.
2. The equivalent length of a component is the amount of tubing, of the same pipe size, that would produce the same head loss (or pressure drop), as the actual component, at the same flow rate.
3. The equivalent hydraulic resistance of an entire assembly is always greater than the smallest individual hydraulic resistance.
4. Determining the flow rates in systems with several parallel branches does not require “number crunching.”
5. Every piping system should be thought of as having an operating cost as well as an installation cost.
1. True
2. True
3. False
