The author studied the law of similarity with respect to the flow of non-Newtonian fluids in pipe lines by using the equations of motion. Secondly, the Fanning's formula of pressure losses in pipe lines was extended to the non-Newtonian flow. Moreover, the coefficients of pipe friction losses for turbulent flows were evaluated. When the coefficient of pipe friction and the Reynolds number in a wider sense are used, the characteristics of non-Newtonian flows in pipe lines are approximately equal to those of Newtonian flows.
