Manometric Head
- The manometric head is the net amount of energy given by the pump to the water.
- The manometric head is the head against which a centrifugal pump has to work.
Additional InformationStatic Head
- The addition of the suction head and the delivery head is known as static head.
Suction head
- It exists when the source of supply is below the centerline of the pump.
- It is the vertical distance between the centerline of the pump to the free level of the liquid to be pumped.
Dynamic Head
- Total dynamic head is the total amount of pressure when water is flowing in a system, taking into account vertical rise and friction loss.
- Total dynamic head is represented on the performance curve by the difference between the suction pressure and the discharge pressure
