Hydraulic calculations are essential for designing and analysing hydraulic systems, ensuring they operate efficiently and safely. These calculations help determine the flow rate, pressure, velocity, and head loss of fluids in pipes, channels, and other hydraulic components.
Key Steps in Hydraulic Calculations:

• Gather Data: Collect information on fluid properties (density, viscosity), pipe dimensions, flow rates, and pressure requirements.
• Select Hydraulic Circuit: Identify the hydraulic loop or circuit to be analysed.
• Build the Model: Use specialized software to create a hydraulic model of the system.

• Input Data: Enter the gathered data into the model, including flow rates, pipe lengths, diameters, and fittings.
• Run the Simulation: Perform the hydraulic calculation to simulate fluid behaviour under various conditions.
• Analyse Results: Evaluate the results to ensure the system meets design criteria and safety standards.
