Enter the hydraulic energy at position 1 and the hydraulic energy at position 2 into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Hydraulic Line Loss. 

Hydraulic Line Loss Formula

HL = H1 - H2

Variables:

  • HL is the Hydraulic Line Loss ()
  • H1 is the hydraulic energy at position 1
  • H2 is the hydraulic energy at position 2

To calculate Hydraulic Line Loss, subtract the hydraulic energy at position 2 from the energy at position 1.

How to Calculate Hydraulic Line Loss?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Hydraulic Line Loss.

  1. First, determine the hydraulic energy at position 1. 
  2. Next, determine the hydraulic energy at position 2. 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = HL = H1 – H2.
  4. Finally, calculate the Hydraulic Line Loss.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

hydraulic energy at position 1 = 2340

hydraulic energy at position 2 = 2000
