What is Pressure from Head?

Pressure from head refers to the pressure exerted by a fluid column due to its height (head) and specific gravity. This concept is commonly used in fluid mechanics and engineering to determine the pressure at the base of a fluid column, such as in water towers, pipelines, and other fluid systems.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Pressure from Head:

\[ P = 0.433 \cdot 50 \cdot 1 = 21.65 \text{ psi} \]

The Pressure from Head is 21.65 psi.
