Head pressure=specific gravity*1000*gravity*height.

Therefore if specific gravity is increased head pressure will increase.

How to Convert pressure bar to velocity meters?

A common unit conversion in engineering is from velocity meters for a pump head to pressure bars. This conversion is done by multiplying the pressure by 10.197 and dividing this value by the specific gravity.


What is Gravity flow?

Gravity flow is fluid flowing due to the forces of gravity alone and not to an applied pressure head. In the Bernoulli equation, the pressure term is omitted, and the height and velocity terms are the only ones included.


Can elevating feet and lowering head increase blood pressure?

The point of elevating the feet and lowering the head is not to raise blood pressure, but to use gravity to cause an increased flow of blood to the brain.


How do you calaculate bkw of pump?

bkw required = (head * flow* specific gravity) / (efficiency of pump*367.2)


How many metres of head 1v Kpa?

== == Height (m) x Gravity (m/s2) = Pressure (kPa) Gravity is 9.81m/s2 at sea level, so an easy approximation is: 1 metre of head = 10kPa


What is compressor head as it relates to discharge pressure?

the head doesnt effect the output pressure of a compressor package but the size of the piston and the amount of clearence and volume between the piston and head changes your output psi


What is formula for pressure at known water flow and pipe diameter?

There isn't one. Pressure in a piping system will be determined by the pump, or head of water if it is a gravity feed system.


How does water get its power?

Hydro power dams work on the height the water falls inside the dam and generating station (Called Head pressure) This basic pressure created on fluids by gravity

What is a red out?

Red out is an expression for the effect of excessive negative gravity. Caused by "excess" blood in the head ... actually the failure of blood to flow out of the head. Chief cause is outside loops in aircraft.


What is pump head unit Mlc?

MLC = Meter Liquid Column MWC = Meter Water Column the relationship of Head MWC and Head MLC. As long as there are no correction factors involved like viscosity, slurry, etc., The performance of a centrifugal pump will be exactly similar for both water and liquid. If the total differential head is specified in terms of pressure like Kg/Cm2, PSI, etc., the specified pressure value is to be divided by the specific gravity of the liquid being pumped, then the correction factors are to be applied for converting into metres.
