Solving simple piping system problems to reach a concluded behavior analysis of an existing piping system; or to reach solutions of system designing problems is essential in lots of agricultural engineering applications; as well as it is for hydraulic, petroleum, or civil engineering applications. This study was conducted to find a new non computational method, as the computational solutions for these problems are not always available; beside that they are built up depending on experimentally derived correlation equations like Haaland equation, Barr equation, Swamee equations and consequently; depending on the iterative method or even trial and error method using Moody curves.
