Quickly convert Psi (Pounds per Square Inch) pressure to Feet of Head for various fluids with our accurate online converter. Essential for engineering, plumbing, and HVAC calculations, this tool simplifies complex fluid dynamics conversions for professionals and students alike.
Formula:
The relationship between pressure and head is fundamental in fluid mechanics. For water at standard conditions (approximately 4∘C / 39.2∘F), 1 Psi (Pounds per Square Inch) is equivalent to about 2.309 feet of head.
The general formula for converting Psi to Feet of Head, considering the specific gravity of the fluid, is:
h = P × 2.309 / SG
h= Head in Feet (ft)P= Pressure in PsiSG= Specific Gravity of the fluid (for water, SG ≈ 1)2.309= Approximate conversion factor for water
