Subsea considerations - Choke line pressure loss
Input(s)
\(W_{m}\): Mud Weight (ppg)
L: Choke Line Length (ft)
\(R_{c}\): Circulation Rate \((\mathrm{gpm})\)
\(D_{i}\): Choke Line ID (in.)
Output(s)
CLPL: Choke Line Pressure Loss (psi)
Formula(s)
\[
C L P L=\frac{0.000061 * W_{m} * L *\left(R_{c}^{1.86}\right)}{D_{i}^{4.86}}
\]
