Put simply, head is the height at which a pump can raise fluid up and is measured in metres or feet.
Companies like Atlas Copco use it when specifying centrifugal pumps because their pumping characteristics tend to be independent of the fluid’s specific gravity, often referred to as relative density.
Avoid confusion: head vs pressure
Head can sometimes be confused... [Read More]
