Enter the water pressure into the calculator below to determine the boiling point.
Boiling Point Formula
The following equation is used to calculate the boiling point of water under a certain pressure.
bp = 49.161 * ln(p) + 44.932
- Where bp is the boiling point (F)
- p is the pressure (mmHg)
To calculate the boiling point of water, multiply the natural log of the water pressure by 49.161, then add 44.932.
