Engineering Decision Gateway

Pumping System Head Requirement & Feasibility Check

Calculate required pump head, pressure drop, and power estimate for your piping system.

What This Tool Does

This interactive gateway helps you quickly assess the feasibility of your engineering requirements by:

  • Collecting minimum required inputs for your specific case
  • Running deterministic engineering calculations
  • Communicating confidence levels and limitations clearly
  • Providing next steps based on your results
Model Scope & Limitations

This simplified model uses Darcy-Weisbach equation with Swamee-Jain friction factor approximation. Valid for single-phase, incompressible, Newtonian fluids in circular pipes. Minor losses estimated using standard K-factors for fittings.

Valid fluids: water, oil, glycol-30, glycol-50Temperature: 0°C to 100°CMax velocity: 3 m/s

Important Notes

  • • This tool provides estimates based on simplified engineering models.
  • • Results are for preliminary sizing only and should be verified by a qualified engineer.
  • • The model assumes single-phase, incompressible, Newtonian fluid flow in circular pipes.
  • • Actual system performance may vary due to factors not captured in this analysis.
