Latuheru Mechanical Engineering Department Faculty of Engineering Universitas Musamus Merauke Indonesia ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to analyze the calculation of the amount of loses that occur in the PT Pelindo IV Merauke Branch water distribution network. This study uses the method of observation and literature review. Head losses calculation requires flowrate data Q high pressure h and pipe flow velocity v using the Darcy- Weisbach and Hazen-Wiliam methods. Data is collected and calculated to find available Head Loses Positive Head Suction and Net Positive Suction Head required. The water velocity at the final pipe is m s the fluid velocity that enters the pump is m s the discharge capacity is m3 hour with a power requirement of kW. The available Net Positive Suction Head is m and the Net Positive Suction Head required is m the total head is m while the maximum Head of the pump is 60 m so it can be stated the pump works in a safe and without experience cavitation.
