Total Dynamic Head :

  • Total Dynamic Head (TDH) represents the total equivalent height a fluid must be pumped.
  • It includes vertical lift and all friction losses in the system.
  • TDH is critical for proper pump sizing and selection.
  • It is measured in feet or meters.

Uses :

  • Used to determine pump capacity and power requirements.
  • Helps analyze pumping system performance.

Formula :

  • TDH = Pumping Water Level + Head above Datum + Velocity Head + Column Friction Losses + Discharge Head Friction Loss

How to Calculate ?

  • Enter pumping water level from datum.
  • Enter head above datum.
  • Enter velocity head.
  • Enter column friction losses.
  • Enter discharge head friction loss.
  • Click “Calculate” to get the total dynamic head.
  • Click “Reset” to clear values.
