Pressure

Pressure and Liquid Height


Relationship (Head)

Pressure, Liquid Height


and Specific Gravity
Relationship
Pressure(PSI) = Head(FT) x Specific Gravity(SG) /
2.31
Example - Water - 231Ft x 1.0 / 2.31 = 100 PSI
Example - HCL - 231 Ft x 1.2 / 2.31 = 120 PSI
Example - Gas - 231 Ft x .80 / 2.31 = 80 PSI

Vapor Pressure

The pressure pushing against atmospheric pressure


on liquids at elevated temperatures.

Suction Head

A Suction Head exists when the liquid is taken from an open to


atmosphere tank where the liquid level is above the centerline of
the pump suction, commonly known as a Flooded Suction.

Suction Lift
A Suction Lift
exists when the
liquid is taken
from an open to
atmosphere tank
where the liquid
level is below the
centerline of the
pump suction.

Friction in a pump system

Flow rate depends on


friction

Energy and head in pump


systems

Total Dynamic Head


TDH = Elevation(ft) + Friction(ft)
