How do you calculate pump head unit in mlc?

The pump head unit (in meters of liquid column, mLC) is a measure of the pressure produced by a pump. It is calculated by multiplying the pump's discharge pressure (in atmospheres, atm) by the density of the liquid being pumped (in kilograms per cubic meter, kg/m³), and then dividing by the gravitational acceleration (in meters per second squared, m/s²) and a unit conversion factor of 10:

```

Pump Head Unit (mLC) = (Discharge Pressure (atm) * Density of Liquid (kg/m³)) / (Gravitational Acceleration (m/s²) * 10)

```

Here is an example calculation:

If a pump has a discharge pressure of 5 atm and is pumping water with a density of 1000 kg/m³, the pump head unit can be calculated as:

```

Pump Head Unit (mLC) = (5 atm * 1000 kg/m³)/(9.81 m/s² * 10) = 510.2 mLC

```

Therefore, the pump head unit for this pump would be 510.2 mLC.
