Calculator Inputs and Outputs
Inputs
- Fluid pressure (Pa) — example: 100000
- Fluid specific weight (N/m³) — example: 9806.65
Results
- Pressure head (m)
- Pressure head (ft)
Formula used
Pressure head h = fluid pressure P ÷ fluid specific weight γ.
How to Use the Pressure Head Calculator
Enter fluid pressure in pascals and the fluid specific weight in newtons per cubic meter. The calculator returns the equivalent head in meters and feet.
Formula
Pressure head h = P ÷ γ, where P is pressure and γ is fluid specific weight.
Accuracy Notes
Use the specific weight that matches the fluid and operating conditions. Verify engineering and safety-critical results independently.
Calculation Standards
This tool uses documented formulas and high-precision internal values. Displayed results may be rounded for readability. Review the assumptions and verify important decisions with a qualified professional.
