How to Evaluate Pressure Head of Liquid?

Pressure Head of Liquid evaluator uses Pressure Head = Pressure/Specific Weight of Liquid in Piezometer to evaluate the Pressure Head, The Pressure Head of Liquid formula is defined as a function of specific weight and pressure applied, it is convenient to express a fluid pressure in terms of pressure head. The pressure is then expressed in terms of metres (or centimetres) of a liquid column. Pressure Head is denoted by h symbol.
