Subsea considerations - Choke line pressure loss

Input(s)

WmW_{m}: Mud Weight (ppg)

L: Choke Line Length (ft)

RcR_{c}: Circulation Rate (gpm)(\mathrm{gpm})

DiD_{i}: Choke Line ID (in.)

Output(s)

CLPL: Choke Line Pressure Loss (psi)

Formula(s)

CLPL=0.000061WmL(Rc1.86)Di4.86C L P L=\frac{0.000061 * W_{m} * L *\left(R_{c}^{1.86}\right)}{D_{i}^{4.86}}
