Specific Weight
Specific weight is the weight per unit volume of a substance.
Specific Weight formulas
\(\large{ \gamma = \rho \; g }\) | |
\(\large{ \gamma = \frac{ p \;-\; p_s }{ NPSH \;-\; \frac{ v^2 }{ 2\; g } } }\) | (net positive suction head) |
Where:
\(\large{ \gamma }\) (Greek symbol gamma) = specific weight
\(\large{ \rho }\) (Greek symbol rho) = density
\(\large{ g }\) = gravitational acceleration
\(\large{ NPSH }\) = net positive suction head
\(\large{ p }\) = pressure
\(\large{ p_s }\) = vapor pressure
\(\large{ v }\) = velocity
