Pump head
Convert a pressure rise into equivalent fluid head.
Equation and assumptions
Hpressure = Δp / (ρg); ΔpSI = Δp × 1000
Pressure head only, for an incompressible fluid. Total pump head may also require elevation and velocity-head differences. System friction, NPSH and pump curves are not evaluated.
