Another example of a system with only static head is pumping into a pressurized vessel with short pipe runs. Static head is independent of flow rate and graphically would be shown as in Figure 2.2. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Friction head (sometimes called dynamic head loss) is the friction loss, on the liquid being moved, in pipes, valves and equipment in the system. These losses are proportional to the square of the flow rate. A closed loop circulating system without a surface open to atmospheric pressure, would exhibit only friction losses and would have a system head loss vs. flow characteristic curve as Figure 2.3. This is known as a system curve. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-EG4XSTgv-U0\/VhVDl2qh1TI\/AAAAAAACGkI\/b2J3XrCUbZA\/s1600-h\/VARIABLE%252520SPEED%252520PUMPING-0709%25255B2%25255D.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"VARIABLE SPEED PUMPING-0709\" border=\"0\" alt=\"VARIABLE SPEED PUMPING-0709\" src=\"http:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-L4Ma5ZxLzbg\/VhVDnocAfXI\/AAAAAAACGkQ\/6OjFAweBOZ8\/VARIABLE%252520SPEED%252520PUMPING-0709_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800\" width=\"307\" height=\"212\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n<p align=\"justify\"><b><\/b> <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>System characteristics In a pumping system, the objective, in most cases, is either to transfer a liquid from a source to a required destination, e.g. filling a high level reservoir, or to circulate liquid around a system, e.g. as a means of heat transfer.
