plot relation pressure versus distance of water flow inside curved pipe

hi
how can i insert line along the helical shapes of this pipe so as to use this line to plot pressure along distance

As you dont hawe any suden changes you could measure it at fev lengths, definitly before and after the 90° pieces, than plot it in excel.

You could make a ZX and YX planes than set rectangular cliping to get average pressure ower section of a pipe. It would take some time but i dont see a simpler way.

I do imagine 2 other ways but I must think it ower before posting.
One is, if you woud plot a >nice< streamline: (nice meaning that it is the same length as your pipe)
than you are able to set location in chart setings to that streamline. But if it is swirly that wont work.
So you would plot pressure against the length of the streamline. but this woul not be average ower crossection pressure
it would be pointbased
