Total Suction Head
Total suction head is the total of the friction, pressure, and static discharge.

Units | English | Metric |
\(\large{ h_s }\) = total suction head | \(\large{ft}\) | \(\large{m}\) |
\(\large{ h_{fs} }\) = friction suction head | \(\large{ft}\) | \(\large{m}\) |
\(\large{ h_{ss} }\) = static suction head | \(\large{ft}\) | \(\large{m}\) |
\(\large{ h_{ps} }\) = surface suction pressure | \(\large{\frac{lbf}{in^2}}\) | \(\large{Pa}\) |
