Whether you're an engineer, technician, or plant operator - understanding pump head is essential for proper pump selection and system design.
This visual guide breaks it down:
What is pump head (suction + discharge)
How to calculate it using Bernoulli-based formulas
How to quickly estimate pump head under real piping conditions (tees, elbows, elevations, etc.)
Includes practical tips like:
Each 90° elbow ≈ 0.5 m head loss
10 m of horizontal pipe ≈ 1 m head loss
Quick calculation with vertical & horizontal segments
Real-life example included for a centrifugal pump handling water at 20°C!
