 WHY NEED TO CALCULATE?

• To get the best pump selection for the irrigation or drainage

system.
• Proper selection will provide best pump performance with
high energy efficiency.
• Preventing from underpower or overpower pump.
 WHEN TO
CALCULATE?
 TOTAL HEAD LOSS

TOTAL HEAD LOSS = STATIC HEAD + FRICTION LOSS

 STATIC HEAD

• Geodetic Head = H Geod

• Berdasarkan kepada Site Investigation untuk dapatkan
Minimum Water Level (h min) dan Maximum Water
Level (h max)
• Dipengaruhi oleh ketinggian aras air dan ketinggian paip
outlet
• PAKSI Y SAHAJA
 DARCY–WEISBACH EQUATION

There are many formulas for flow in pipes, but none is easier
to use than the Hazen–Williams, and none is more accurate or
universally applicable than the Darcy–Weisbach
supplemented by the Moody diagram or the Colebrook
equation.
