PSI to Feet of Head Calculator
Use this calculator to convert PSI to feet of head and feet of head to PSI for pump sizing, boiler feed applications, condensate return systems, and general water movement calculations.
This conversion is commonly used when matching a replacement pump, checking required system pressure, or reviewing head requirements on commercial and industrial water systems.

How to Use This for Pump Selection
Feet of head is one of the main numbers used to match a pump to a system. After converting pressure to head, compare that result with the required flow rate and the pump curve for the pump you are considering.
If you are matching a replacement pump, the converted head value helps narrow down the correct Burks pump series.
Where This Comes Up
- Boiler feed pump sizing
- Condensate return pump matching
- Circulating pump replacement
- Checking lift or pressure requirements
- Reviewing system pressure against pump capability
What to Do After You Convert
Replacing a Pump?
Use your head number and flow requirement to narrow down the right replacement pump.
Browse Burks Pump SeriesReplacing a Full Unit?
If the system includes a receiver tank, controls, and pump package, review full boiler feed and condensate return systems.

If the pump stays but the receiver is worn or leaking, review replacement tank options.

If you know your PSI, required feet of head, or approximate boiler size but are not sure which pump or system fits, send the model number, application, and available system information to info@remausa.com.
This page is a conversion tool. Final pump selection still depends on flow, head, system layout, voltage, and application type.
