Velocity Head Calculator

Posted by Dinesh on

Use this simple hydraulics and waterworks calculator to calculate velocity head in piping system. The velocity head is the kinetic energy contained in the liquid being pumped at any point in the system.

Formula:

Velocity head = V2 / (2 × g)

where,
  • V - Velocity of fluid
  • g - acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/s2
