Convert a pressure difference to fluid head, or head to pressure.

Convert a pressure difference to fluid head, or head to pressure.

App id: FLUID-08. Reference version 1.0.

How to fill it

Fill 2 values. The tool solves the rest.

On the tool screen, Calc is the working sheet. Presets stores values you reuse. Reference is the formula, assumptions, and provenance below.

Formula

H = ΔP / (ρ g)

Inputs

NameUnit
Pressure differencekPa
Headm
Densitykg/m3
Gravity (optional)m/s2

Outputs

NameUnit

Diagnose

This tool does not attach diagnose observations.

Assumptions

  • Density is the fluid density, not specific gravity unless you convert first.
  • Leave gravity blank for 9.80665 m/s².

Provenance

  • Hydrostatic relation ΔP = ρ g H.
