Convert PSI to feet of head for water pressure, pump head, plumbing systems, irrigation lines, pressure tanks, and water supply planning. This calculator also shows meters of head, kPa, bar, pressure difference, and adjusted outlet head after pressure loss.
PSI to head:
The calculator multiplies water pressure in PSI by 2.31 to estimate feet of head.
Adjusted head:
The calculator subtracts pressure loss and elevation effect to estimate remaining outlet head.
Head difference:
The calculator compares available pressure head to a target pressure head.
This calculator helps convert water pressure into pump head, static head, or pressure head for plumbing and water system planning.
It can help compare PSI, feet of head, meters of head, kPa, bar, adjusted outlet head, elevation change, pressure loss, and target pressure.
Your result shows estimated feet of head from water pressure. It can also show adjusted head after pressure loss and elevation change. These are planning estimates only. Real systems can vary based on pipe size, pipe length, fittings, valves, filters, pump performance, elevation, and fixture demand.
For water, 1 PSI is about 2.31 feet of head.
Multiply PSI by 2.31. For example, 60 PSI × 2.31 = 138.6 feet of head.
Feet of head is commonly used when comparing pump performance, static pressure, elevation, and water system pressure.
This calculator uses a standard water conversion. Real system results can vary with fluid type, temperature, elevation, pipe friction, and system layout.
