Lohm Laws and Liquid Flow
The Lohm is a measure of flow resistance, analogous to the Ohm in electrical systems. It simplifies hydraulic computations by compensating for discharge coefficients and dimensional tolerances. A 1 Lohm restriction allows a flow of 100 gallons per minute of water with a pressure drop of 25 psi at 80°F. The document provides formulas for calculating flow resistance for various liquids, considering factors like density and viscosity.

LOHMS LAWS (liquids) Every engineer will be interested in our simple system of defining the fluid resistance of Lee hydraulic components. Just as the OHM is used in the electrical industry, we find that we can use a liquid OHM or "Lohm" to good advantage on all hydraulic computations. When using the Lohm system, you can forget about coefficients of discharge and dimensional tolerances on drilled holes. These factors are automatically compensated for in the Lohm calculations, and confirmed by testing each component to establish flow tolerances. The resistance to flow of any fluid control component...
