Pump Head Calculator

Calculate total pump head H = (P₂-P₁)/(ρg) + (V₂²-V₁²)/(2g) + (z₂-z₁) + h_losses. Determine required pump head from system curve to select appropriate pump for pipeline systems.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How It Works

Calculate total pump head H = (P₂-P₁)/(ρg) + (V₂²-V₁²)/(2g) + (z₂-z₁) + h_losses. Determine required pump head from system curve to select appropriate pump for pipeline systems

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • System curve — The system curve recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the pump head result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the system curve for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate total pump head H = (P₂-P₁)/(ρg) + (V₂²-V₁²)/(2g) + (z₂-z₁) + h_losses. Determine required pump head from system curve to select appropriate pump for pipeline systems. Use the pump head result to inform your clinical assessment.
