How much pressure is in 328 feet of water?

If it is fresh water, and the surface is at sea level, then the pressure at the surface is 14.69 psi. As you submerge, then the pressure from the weight of the water above you is added to the air pressure above the water. For each foot that you descend, the water pressure will increase by 0.4331 psi, so at 328 feet deep, the water pressure is 142.0568 psi. Add the 14.69 psi air pressure to get 156.7468 psi.


Do pressure gauges need to be calibrated for altitude?

yes for every 5000 feet of elevation your bourdon tube type of gauge will increase by 2 psi. even though the sealed vessel you are checking remains at the same psi. example if i have a sealed tank at sea level and it is reading 12 psi. at 5000 feet the same tank and gauge will now read 14 psi. and at 10000 feet 16 psi. the tank pressure has not changed but the gauge is now out of whack because there is less pressure pressing on the bourdon tube. less atmospheric pressure easier for the gauge to go up.


Can you swim with a 5 ATM wach?

Yes, unless you are diving to a rather deep depth. One atmosphere is 15 pounds per square inch (or PSI.) A 5 ATM watch should be resistant to water entrainment to a pressure of 15*5, or 75 PSI. That would correspond to a depth of approximately 150 feet, depending on whether you are in fresh or salt water. Watch out, though - many watches not designed for diving have leather or other types of bands that can be damaged by water, especially salt water. (Anything you wear in salt water should be thoroughly rinsed afterwards to get rid of sea salts.)


What temperature does water boil at 700 PSI?

It is 262 deg Celsius.


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.
