Head Function

Converts pressure sensor to head.

The following computation is used:

Head = conversion factor to bring pressure to head's unit * Pressure + elevation = value in unit of elevation

The conversion factor is derived using the following computation based on the measurement system (Imperial or Metric):

p = 0.433 h

where

p = pressure (psi)

h = head (ft)

p = 0.1 h

where

h = head (m)

p = pressure (kg/cm2)

For imperial units, the output will always be feet. For metric, the output will always be meters.

Parameter

Description

TimeSeries

This can be a node with time series data or another function.

Example expression

Head(@pressure_sensor): Converts all of the pressure readings into head units.
