This page calculates the head loss coefficient and head loss of a fluid across a screen (circular metal wire mesh) inside a pipe. The Reynolds number is assumed to be greater than 103.

Define the free area ratio and the flow velocity in the pipe. The head loss across the screen will be calculated.
