Statements: A) In case of a laminar fully developed flow through pipes, the friction factor depends on the Reynolds number and pipe roughness. B) The friction factor at a given Reynolds number, in the turbulent region, depends on the relative roughness (ratio of average roughness to the diameter of the pipe) rather than absolute roughness.
