📐 Acceleration Head (Acceleration Head ha = LvnC/gk, NPSHA > NPSHR Cavitation Margin)

Plunger Metering Pump Acceleration Head Calculator

Calculate pulsating suction line acceleration head loss ($h_a = rac{L v n C}{g k}$) on simplex, duplex, and triplex plunger pumps: ensure available suction head exceeds required net positive suction head ($NPSH_A > NPSH_R + h_a$), prevent cavitational vapor pocket collapse, and chemical pumping reliability yields.
