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).
