Pump Head Calculator

Add up pipe friction, fitting losses and static height to find the total head a pump must deliver.

Free · no sign-in required

Purpose

Add up pipe friction, fitting losses and static height to find the total head a pump must deliver.

Inputs required

Flow, pipe sizes and lengths, fittings, static head and equipment pressure drops.

Standards followed

Darcy–Weisbach friction with standard fitting loss coefficients.

Engineering reference & methodology

What you get

Total dynamic head, pipe and fitting losses, and pump duty point.

Results are preliminary design guidance. Verify every value against the edition of each standard adopted by your project or authority having jurisdiction, and against manufacturer performance data, before using it in design or procurement.
