Calculating the total head for a booster pump ensures your system provides enough pressure to move water to the highest or furthest point in a building while overcoming internal resistance

: Utilize Excel’s charting capabilities to visualize how changes in input parameters affect the pump head.

The head of a pump is a measure of the energy imparted to the fluid by the pump, usually expressed in units of feet (ft) or meters (m) of fluid. It represents the increase in pressure (or more accurately, the increase in pressure energy) that the pump provides to overcome resistance in the system, such as friction losses in pipes and rises in elevation.

The energy lost as water flows through pipes, fittings, and valves. Triple "D" Pump Company Pressure Head ( cap H sub p

represents the total pressure the pump must generate to overcome gravity and friction while maintaining the desired flow. Friction Losses Required PSI
