Here is the explanation of the system
1. The pipe is copper pipe schedule 40
2. The long of the pipe I investigated is about 17 m.
3. The fluid transported in the pipe is water
4. K (minor losses coefficient) of the pipe system is about 47
5. Cleaning pipe is removing any surface...

Thanks for your reply. It is safe to say that the pipe does not need to be cleaned, even though the roughness is far increased than the clean copper pipe? I'm trying to find the literature about the value of roughness of dirty copper pipe, but still cant find one.
Hi,
What consideration should take into account before ones decide to clean up the copper pipe? I have a pipelines, and found that roughness is about 6.7e-6 m. The literature stated that the roughness of clean copper pipe is about 1.5e-6 m, which is far less than the roughness of the pipelines...
