Total Pump Head Formula

Total Pump Head (\( H_t \)):

\[ H_t = H_s + (HL_{sp} + HL_f) \]

Where:

  • \( H_t \) is the total head loss, in feet (ft).
  • \( H_s \) is the head loss due to elevation, in feet (ft).
  • \( HL_{sp} \) is the friction loss on straight pipe, in feet (ft).
  • \( HL_f \) is the head loss on fittings, in feet (ft).
