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.

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 do you calculate water pressure at top if water pressure given at bottom?

Every 2.3077 feet of water in a column increases the water pressure at the bottom of the column by 1 pound per square inch.A 39 foot column of water with a pressure of 120 psi at the base will have a pressure exerted on its top surface of 103.1 psi.39 ft/ 2.3077 ft/1 psi = 16.9 psi ; 120 psi -16.9 psi = 103.1 psievery meter of water in a column increases the pressure at the base of the column by 0.1 kg./ sq. cm (or 1 kilopascal)A 12 meter column of water exerts a pressure at its base of 12 kPa. (or 1.2 kg/sq. cm)
