Does anybody have a software program or spreadsheet that they use for calculating pressure loss (ft of head) for hydronic systems to assist in pump selection.

My spreadsheet is based on Darby and Hooper's methods. Just go through the Please Read worksheet to understand the scope of the calculations inside and also this gives you some understanding of the logic behind the procedures/methods I used.
Alternately, you can download this free Pressure Drop calculator, which I extensively used before making my own spreadsheet.
Just be sure that you use the right logic and use correct figures to get the correct result.
PS: The last worksheet calculates the power consumption by pumps.
Good luck,
