Pressure head

According to DIN EN ISO 17769-1, the pressure head (HM,x) is the total head at a specific point x, marked by the index, that is indicated on a pressure gauge. The pressure head is expressed in metres (m). Alongside the velocity head and the geodetic height, the pressure head is a component in Bernoulli's equation (see Fluid mechanics) used to calculate the total head.
