Drafting Lift Estimate

Static lift is the vertical distance from the water surface to the pump intake. The theoretical atmospheric ceiling (corrected for altitude and estimated losses) is a hard physical limit, never an operating target.

ℹVerify locally before acting. This tool is a planning and arithmetic aid, not a substitute for training, local SOPs, calibrated instruments, or scene assessment. Confirm critical values independently. Suite status: DRAFT - not yet department-approved for operational use.
When you'd use this: Setting up a portable pump or drafting an engine from a pond, lake, or static source - confirm the vertical lift from the water surface to the pump intake is within the pump's practical limit before committing to drafting there.
