Head Loss Calculations


1. Head Loss Calculation in Main Line
Head loss of the Total Main Line Length to a Valve can be taken as Main Line
Loss for Total Head Loss Calculation.
The length of Main Line to a Valve (DV2) = m

3. Total Head Requirement of The IRRIGATION SYSTEM

Head Loss due to Elevation difference from the Pump Room to irrigation
System = 10.95 m.
Head loss due to Pump Room Fittings can be considered as 5.0 m.
Maximum Head Loss due to Pipe Fittings (Main line & Lateral lines) can be
considered as 3.0 m.
