This tool calculates the total dynamic head for your fluid system to help you design an efficient system.
How to Use the Total Dynamic Head Calculator
The Total Dynamic Head Calculator helps you quickly determine the combined dimensions and total weight of multiple heads based on user inputs. You need to fill in:
- Number of Heads: The total number of heads.
- Width of Each Head (cm): The width of each head in centimeters.
- Height of Each Head (cm): The height of each head in centimeters.
- Weight of Each Head (kg): The weight of each head in kilograms.
After entering the values, click on the ‘Calculate’ button to get the total dimensions and weight.
How It Calculates the Results
- Total Width: Number of heads multiplied by the width of each head.
- Total Height: Number of heads multiplied by the height of each head.
- Total Weight: Number of heads multiplied by the weight of each head.
The result will be shown in the ‘Result’ field. The result format is: Total Width (cm), Total Height (cm), Total Weight (kg).
Limitations
This calculator assumes that each head has identical dimensions and weight. It does not factor in variations between individual heads or any other external variables.
