Hello, I calculate minor losses in fittings using coefficient of resistance and data provided by the dealer. If I have mechanical fitting such as this 90 deg elbow The total minor loss is only 1x elbow (coef 1.2) or 1x elbow (1.2) + 2x connection (0.3 for d75)? Do I have to count the figging lenght as well as the major loss? and add it to the total loss?
