Water Pressure Elevation Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the water pressure from the tower.
P = .433 * H
- Where P is the pressure in PSI
- H is the height in feet
To calculate water pressure from elevation of a water column, multiply the height in feet by .433.
Water Pressure Elevation Definition
A water pressure elevation is defined as the pressure generated from a column of water on the base of the column due to the force of gravity and density of water.
Water Pressure Elevation Example
How to calculate a water pressure from elevation?
- First, measure the height.
Measure the height of the column of water.
- Next, calculate the pressure.
Use the formula above to calculate the water pressure.
