Pump Head Calculator
Calculate total dynamic head (TDH) from static head, friction losses and pressure differential — the starting point for all pump selection.
Interactive toolUpdated July 2026
Inputs
Discharge elevation minus suction elevation.
Discharge vessel pressure minus suction vessel pressure.
Results
Total Dynamic Head
19.00 m
Static
15.00 m
Friction
4.00 m
Pressure
0.00 m
How It Works
TDH = static head + friction head + pressure head
Pressure head = ΔP / (ρ·g). Add velocity head only where the suction/discharge kinetic-energy difference is significant (usually negligible).
