Our free Bernoulli Head Loss Calculator helps engineers and students quickly determine energy losses in fluid flow systems. Easily account for pressure, velocity, elevation, fluid density, and gravity to understand energy dissipation in pipes and ducts. Optimize your hydraulic designs with accurate head loss calculations.

Formula:

h_L = (P₁/ρg + v₁²/2g + z₁) - (P₂/ρg + v₂²/2g + z₂)

Where:
h_L = Head Loss (m)
P₁ = Pressure at point 1 (Pa)
P₂ = Pressure at point 2 (Pa)
v₁ = Velocity at point 1 (m/s)
v₂ = Velocity at point 2 (m/s)
z₁ = Elevation at point 1 (m)
z₂ = Elevation at point 2 (m)
ρ = Fluid Density (kg/m³)
g = Acceleration due to Gravity (m/s²)
