Reynolds number calculator

The Reynolds number is a criterion for the hydrodynamic similarity of a viscous fluid, it reflects the ratio of inertial forces to viscous friction forces.



Calculation of Reynolds number for fluid flow in a round pipe

Enter the flow rate, pipe diameter and kinematic viscosity of the substance (or choose one of the proposed liquids).

Initial data

Velocity of flow: m/s
Pipe diameter: mm, calculator to convert length units from inches, meters
Kinematic viscosity:
Fresh water ν = 1×10-6 m2/s t=20°С
Light oil ν = 25×10-6 m2/s t=18°С
Heavy oil ν = 140×10-6 m2/s t=18°С
Mazut ν = 2000×10-6 m2/s t=18°С
Petrol ν = 0.9×10-6 m2/s t=15°С
Kerosene ν = 2.7×10-6 m2/s t=20°С
Hydraulic Industrial Oil I-5A ν = 7×10-6 m2/s t=40°С
Hydraulic Industrial Oil I-8A ν = 10×10-6 m2/s t=40°С
Hydraulic Industrial Oil I-12A ν = 15×10-6 m2/s t=40°С
Hydraulic Industrial Oil I-20A ν = 30×10-6 m2/s t=40°С
Hydraulic Industrial Oil I-30A ν = 45×10-6 m2/s t=40°С
Hydraulic Industrial Oil I-40A ν = 65×10-6 m2/s t=40°С
Hydraulic Industrial Oil I-50A ν = 95×10-6 m2/s t=40°С
Another kinematic viscosity value ×10-6 m2/s

Reynolds number

The Reynolds number is defined as:

Re = (V*D) / ν

The type of flow may be riugtly determined usyng Reynold's number.
