Determine friction resistance for horizontal pipe


Another guide recommends 12,700 lb/hr water flowrate through 2" pipe and says that this will give 16" water "friction resistance" per 100 ft of horizontal pipe. Let's assume that they mean Sch 40 commercial steel pipe. Do you agree with their stated "friction resistance" for 100 ft of horizontal pipe? What is the "friction resistance" in terms used in our course?
