FLUE RESISTANCES
CONCENTRIC FLUE SYSTEMS
For concentric ue systems with elbows tted, use the table to correct the maximum ue extension capability. Alternatively use
the table to design the ue system, deducting the individual resistance of components from the maximum pressure drop allowed
in the ue for that boiler.
The maximum pressure drop allowed in the ue is given below.
Note: The resistances are given in Pa and also the equivalent length of straight concentric pipe.

For open ue systems with
elbows tted, use this table to
correct the maximum extension
capability. The table shows the
equivalent length of ue tube for
the elbow required.
