== == The volume of water is irrelevant to pressure. It is only the elevation that causes an increase in pressure. The static pressure supplied by the water at an elevated height is equal to [density of water (1000 kg/m3)] x [gravitational acceleration (9.812 m/s2)] x [height of water (9.144 meters)] in Pascals (newtons per square meter).
So, the pressure is 89,720.9 Pascal or 13.01 pounds per square inch.
Depends on the height. You gain approximately 0.4 psi for every foot of elevation; so at 10 foot elevation you will have ~4 psi.
If the problem is that the water "PRESSURE" is low, The only to fix it is by raising the pressure by turning up the regulator or by adding A booster pump. If the pressure is fine but it takes A long time to fill A tub, Then yes you can increase the pipe size.
That totally depends on how many houses there are, and what the pressure in the water mains is. The smallest allowed where I work is an 8" diameter water main, but 10" and 12" are common, too.
30 minutes but depending on your pump and how much back pressure on the pump line when it begins to reach full capacity of your tank well reduce your pump supply.
A leak probably wouldn't cause a "sudden" drop in pressure. It sounds more like the system has more users than it can supply and pressure drops when someone else turns on their shower or flushes their toilet.
At high elevation the pressure is lower and the boiling point depends on this pressure.
the pressure of water measured relative to the atmospheric pressure at the same elevation.
Water's boiling point decreases with an increase in elevation because the atmospheric pressure decreases at higher elevations. Water boils when its vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure. As atmospheric pressure decreases with elevation, the vapor pressure required to boil water also decreases, resulting in a lower boiling point.

Water pressure is naturally created by having the source of water at an elevation higher than the destination. Spring water can be collected at a higher elevation and piped to a house at a lower elevation to provide running water - with reasonable pressure - no pump required. A water tower is "artificial elevation" to provide water pressure for home or a neighborhood. A very general rule of thumb is the higher the tower the higher the water pressure at the tap.
The only way you can find accurate pressure in a pipe is by mechanical means. If you want to know the pressure in your home just go to a hardware and by a pressure gauge with a hose adapter and screw it to your outside faucet and that will give you the pressure of your water at that elevation of your out side faucet. The higher the elevation of the water line = the less pressure.
As elevation increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases. This causes the boiling point of water to decrease, but the freezing point remains relatively unaffected. Therefore, elevation does not significantly impact the freezing point of water.
Surface elevation can affect water vapor content and temperature by influencing air pressure, which in turn affects the amount of moisture the air can hold (higher elevations typically have lower air pressure and therefore lower water vapor content). Additionally, temperature decreases with higher elevation due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure and the decrease in humidity, leading to cooler conditions at higher elevations.
When the pump is not running, the water pressure at the output pipe of the pump will be equal to the static pressure of the water source acting on the pipe. This static pressure varies depending on the elevation and depth of the water source.
you cannot increase the pressure from a gravity tank by changing the pipe size, only the volume of water that will flow in a given period of time. The only way to increase the pressure is to increase the difference between the elevation of the tank and the elevation of the spigot. Many people will confuse an increase in water volume with an increase in water pressure, because, in both cases, more water will flow in a given period of time. ...moreincreasing the pipe size can reduce elevation loss due to friction which can translate in lay mans terms as an "increase in pressure"
Same as a regular toilet.
Water boils at a lower temperature at higher elevations because the atmospheric pressure is lower. At higher elevations, the air is thinner, so there is less pressure pushing down on the water, causing it to boil at a lower temperature.
