I'm currently a long way from home and any reference material, and I've been asked about friction factor in flexible pipe. I remember (I think!) that API 17B quotes a value of ID(mm)/250 for this; can someone confirm this? And even give me a paragraph reference (the client is annoying that way)?
Are there any other rules of thumb or friction factor values that poeple have used for flexibles?
Thanks a lot!
