    Pump shut off head

    Hello all, If lets say my tank is 12m tall, my pump rated 7bar, shut off is at 9.1 bar. While not considering water column/density, where 1bar = 10m, my discharge pressure instruments can be designed as min Pressure - 0 Normal Pressure - 7+1.2 = 8.2 Max - 9.1+1.2 = 10.3 Is this correct...
