): The vertical distance the fluid must be lifted, measured from the pump centerline to the highest discharge point. Friction Head ( Hfcap H sub f booster pump head calculation xls

: The increase in pressure needed, usually measured in pounds per square inch (psi) or kilopascals (kPa). | Input | Value | Unit | |

: Use Excel formulas to calculate the pump head based on the inputs provided. This could involve converting units (e.g., psi to feet of head), calculating friction losses using the Darcy-Weisbach or Hazen-Williams equations, and summing the elevation head and pressure head. This could involve converting units (e

Where:

First, convert ΔP to feet of head: [ 50 , \textpsi \times \frac144 , \textin^21 , \textft^2 \div 62.4 , \textlb/ft^3 \div 32.2 , \textft/s^2 \approx 358.5 , \textft ]
