Head Loss through Screen Formula Elements

Variables
Head Loss
The Head Loss is a measure of the reduction in the total head (sum of elevation head, velocity head and pressure head) of the fluid as it moves through a fluid system.
Symbol: hL
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Velocity of Flow after Screening
The Velocity of Flow after Screening is the flow of water after the screening which depends upon the clear spacing area within the screen.
Symbol: v
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Velocity of Flow before Screening
The Velocity of Flow before Screening is the flow of water before screening which depends upon the cross-section area of the channel.
Symbol: u
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.

Other Formulas to find Head Loss

​Go Minimum Head Loss when screen is fully functional
