Hydronics Eng has some cool stuff about hydraulic engineering.
An article about the differences between NFPA 13 and 13D calculations.

HzW only works for straight pipe with water!
For a Reducer,
Head loss, Hf = (1/Cc - 1)^2 * V2^2 / 2 / g
where,
Cc = 0.582 + 0.0418/(1.1-D2/D1)
D1 = upstream inside diameter
D2 = downstream inside diameter
V2 = downstream fluid velocity
g = acceleration due to gravity
For an Expander, divide the above Hf by 0.7
This is and ancient book about hydraulics.
