`K=0.8×sin(θ/2)×(1-β^2)`    ( θ ≤ 45° )
`K=1/2×(1-β^2)×(sin(θ/2))^[1/2]`    ( 45°< θ ≤180° )
θ = Angle of Approach
β = dminor / dmajor

Pipe Contraction Calculator Changes in fluid velocity caused by changes in the fitting diameter are obtained by fitting. The pressure drop is also velocity dependent, changing in the direction of the fit. Example of use Input data: Gradient angle: 90; β: 10 Click "Calculate", K value: -45.6610
