Take the 0.5" ID data:

total head loss = loss from tube's length + loss from tube's bend

so ht = hb + hL

ht = Kbv2/g + f(L/D)v2/g

Kb = 42f (tabulated in Crane r/d = 8/0.5 or 16)
L/D = 18/0.5 or 36

ht = 42(v2/g) + f(36)(v2/g)

ht and v are known as is g. Just a matter of plug into spreadsheet and get units right at that point, right?
