Fluid Pressure To Head Water
Use this fluid pressure to head water tool when you have measured values for pressure kpa. It applies a transparent mathematical relationship to those values to return an answer in m. Unlike a prediction or recommendation, this is a calculation from your inputs. Applies to water at approximate density 1000 kg/m³. Enter a different scenario to see how this particular quantity changes; check the assumptions before using it in a project.
How to use this calculator
- Use exact measurements and consistent units for pressure kpa.
- Enter each quantity; blank, nonnumeric and out-of-range inputs are not accepted.
- Compare the reported m quantity against your own data and the limitations below.
Formula for Fluid Pressure To Head Water
m = pressure_kpa*1000/(1000*9.80665). Inputs are expressed in the units shown by the labels.
- This uses a direct fluid relationship and does not retrieve remote data, forecasts or individual account information.
- Applies to water at approximate density 1000 kg/m³.
Worked examples
Worked example — Fluid Pressure To Head Water
Enter Pressure kpa = 185.
Apply pressure_kpa*1000/(1000*9.80665).
Calculated value: approximately 18.86475 m.
Understanding the result
The example produces about 18.86475 m; this is a mathematical output for the example inputs, not an observed result for your project.
Applies to water at approximate density 1000 kg/m³.
Important notes
Applies to water at approximate density 1000 kg/m³.
Use values from the same measurement period or physical system. The result is in m and is not a guarantee of capacity, safety, ranking or revenue.
