Manometric head, in case of a centrifugal pump, is equal to
Suction lift + Loss of head in suction pipe due to friction + Delivery lift + Loss of head in delivery pipe due to friction + Velocity head in the delivery pipe
Workdone per kN of water - Losses within the impeller
Energy per kN at outlet of impeller - Energy per kN at inlet of impeller
all of the above
