Pump – head determination
Thread Content
How is the head of a water pump determined? When selecting a water pump in daily use, how is the head determined? Is there any specialized software for this purpose, or can it be determined based on the height at the pump’s outlet and the pressure in that environment?
Theoretically, to calculate the required head, it is obtained by dividing the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet by the density, and then adding a certain amount of loss (calculated based on parameters such as the number of fittings and pipe diameter)
1. It can be calculated using a formula. 2. It can be found by referring to the Q-H performance curve
