Best Answer

The diameter of the water column does not affect the pressure.

It is the height of the column that determines the pressure at the base.

(and also the barometric pressure and temperature).

One column of water has twice the diameter as another column of water. If the pressure is the same at the bottom of each column. How do the heights of the two columns compare?

The column with the smallest diameter has greater pressure and the column with a larger diameter has less pressure.

Head pressure of water?

Head pressure is created by a column (depth) of water in a container. Pipe is considered a container. Diameter is not a factor. The higher the column of water, the more psi it creates. Multiply column height of water by .434 to get psi of water.


How many psi equals 1 water column?

You need to know how high the water column is to calculate the pressure it exerts at its base! For example, a column of water 1 metre deep would exert a pressure of 9.81 kPa at its base (density x gravity x depth - 1000 * 9.81 * 1). This would be equal to approx 1.42 PSI.


How does the diameter of a column of water affect the pressure at the bottom of the column?

Yes and no, provided the pressure is kept constant, what appears to be more pressure is actually more volume. it appears to be more pressure, but it is an optical illusion, put a pressure gauge and be amazed.


Can water exert pressure on a submarine?

Yes, water exerts pressure on the hull of the submarine.


What will be the Water column Head in kg for 6 meter height and 8 meter dia tank?

Water column head is expressed either as the height of the column ... 6 meters here ... or else as the pressure at the bottom ... 58.842 kPa here. 'Kg' can't be a unit of water column head, and the diameter of the column is irrelevant.


Which will exert more pressure river water or same amount of sea water?

Salt water is denser, and therefore will exert more pressure (for two columns of the same height).

yes
