PUMP HEAD CALCULATION IN OPEN AND CLOSED SYSTEM

PUMP HEAD CALCULATION IN OPEN AND CLOSED SYSTEM

PUMP HEAD CALCULATION IN OPEN AND CLOSED SYSTEM

(OP)
Can Any body help me, to find out pump head with the help of pressure gauges?

If there is difference in level of pressure gauges what correction factor we need to add?

RE: PUMP HEAD CALCULATION IN OPEN AND CLOSED SYSTEM

Pressure / density = head

Pressure Correction factor = elevation difference x density

RE: PUMP HEAD CALCULATION IN OPEN AND CLOSED SYSTEM

The caveman way would be pressure readings on outlet of pump and determination of corresponding flow rates on outlet of pump. Flow rates can be roughly determined knowing pump outlet diameter,and assuming the outlet of pump is horizontal determining the flow velocity by measuring the outlet height and the flow distance from pump outlet to impact point on the ground for the trajectory equation.
