Study Notes

Calculating Height (Level)

  • The formula for calculating height (level) is: h = P / SG
    • h is the height of the liquid in inches or feet
    • P is the head pressure in inches of water or psig
    • SG is the specific gravity of the liquid

Calculating Head Pressure

  • The formula for calculating head pressure is: P = h x SG
    • P is the head pressure in inches of water or psig
    • h is the height of the liquid in inches or feet
    • SG is the specific gravity of the liquid
