Scope of this lookup Ten authored bores. Labels use the existing Pump TDH convention: below 2300, 2300–4000 uncertain transition, above 4000. These are not universal transition thresholds.
Before using these values Disturbance, entry length, roughness and geometry affect transition. The label is a planning convention for pipe flow, not a universal fluid-dynamics answer or measured regime.

How to use this data Re=v[m/s]D[m]/ν[m²/s];1 cSt = 10^-6 m²/s. Bore is actual inside diameter. Threshold labels match the disclosed existing pipe solver convention.
CHECK THE METHOD
Worked example 50 mm, 1 m/s and 1 cSt give Re 50000. At velocity 0.05 m/s the same bore gives Re 2500, flagged as uncertain transition.
