Where in the ocean is water pressure the greatest?
At the bottom of the Mariana Trench (Pacific Ocean), where water pressure is about eight tons per square inch.
How many PSI does 1 gallon of water create?
That depends on the surface area over which the weight of the gallon of water is distributed. Divide 8.34 pounds -- the weight of a gallon of water -- by the area, in square inches, the gallon is sitting upon. If the gallon of water is in a typical plastic jug that you buy at the grocery store, it's not creating much pressure at all -- only about 2.2 ounces per square inch.
What does one inch of water weigh?
The question as posed is unanswerable. In order to compute the weight of an inch of water, one would have to know the volume, or area the one inch covers. (ie., a square foot of water one inch deep would weigh=X)
How do you measure water per inch?
Normally you would not measure water per inch since the concept makes no sense.
What is psi pressure used for?
Pounds per Square Inch is a measurement of pressure, be it water, gas, or air from a pipe or put into a storage tank, etc. A basic example is that a pressure gauge on a water boiler may be set to 80psi, and a safety valve will open to allow excess pressure over the 80psi to escape.
Where in the ocean is water pressure the greatest?
At the bottom of the Mariana Trench (Pacific Ocean), where water pressure is about eight tons per square inch.
What is the height of a column of water where the pressure at the bottom of the column is 20.0 lb inch squared?
It is approx 46.3 feet.
How do you figure out PSI at the bottom of a vertical pipe filled with water?
Measure the height of the pipe, in inches. Then the pressure at the bottom is approx 14.7 + 0.036*H PSI.
Why is your cold water pressure low but hot water pressure is fine?
Sounds like your main line coming in is small if it's 1/2 inch stepping it up to 3/4 coming in then down to 1/2 inch would increase your pressure
Where is the greatest pressure in the ocean?
At the bottom of the Mariana Trench (Pacific Ocean), where water pressure is about eight tons per square inch.
What is the outside pressure on a vessel at a water depth of 5500'?
At 5,500 feet down, the pressure on the vessel would be 2,458.71 pounds per square inch.
What would the water pressure be at 20 feet?
20 bar of pressure is about 200 ft.
If you have a 1000 gallon container of water that has a half inch pipe coming out the bottom of the container what is the psi at that pipe and does the height and circumference of the container matter?
Shape matters First, the shape of the vessel matters. The outward pressure applied to the inside of the walls of the vessel is not unifom, regardless of its shape, but it will be more uniform for cylindrical vessels and more uniform, still, for spherical ones. Second, be advised that the contributions below apply more to water columns than to vessels. The pressure is all dependant on the height of the column of water. Calculate the weight of a 1 ft by 1 ft column of water to the height of the column. It doesn't really matter if the column is ACTUALLY 1 ft by 1 ft, the physics works out that way. Simply said, if the height of the container is 10 ft, that would give you a 10 cubic ft column of water. Ten cubic ft of water would be about 74.8 gallons. A gallon weighs about 8 pounds, giving you a column of water that weighs about 598 pounds. That would make the pressure at the bottom of the tank 598 pounds per square foot. To convert that to inches, divide by the number of square inches in a square foot, which is 144, leaving you about 4.1 PSI, if the water column is 10 ft high. Pressure at the bottom of a water tank Since for practical purposes, water weights approximately 8.34 lb. per gallon, 1000 gallons of water would weight 8340 lb. The bottom of the container does matter, as the 8,340 lb. would be distributed evenly over the entire surface area of the bottom. The wider the tank, the lower the psi. Conversely, the narrower the tank, the higher the psi. The water will exert exactly the same pressure per square inch on a 1/2 inch pipe as on a 1 inch pipe or a 6 inch pipe. To calculate the pressure at the bottom of the tank, calculate the bottom surface as Pi times radius squared. Example: with a 3-ft diameter tank: 3.14159 X 2.25 = 7.06858 sq. ft. (Pi times the radius squared.) Therefore 8,340 lb. per 7.06858 sq ft = 8,340 lbs per 1017.87 sq in = 8.194 psi. Calculate pressure for other diameter tanks by simply substituting the diameter in the above example. The only factor that would effect the answer to your question would be the depth of the water. One foot of fresh water depth will exert .43 psi on a gauge. The size, shape and configuration of the container have no bearing on it. If you had a gauge at the bottom of a million gallon swimming pool that was 10 feet deep and you had a gauge at the bottom of a 4 inch pipe that was running vertical 10 feet deep (approximately 6.5 gallons) both gauges would read 4.3 psi.
