| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \( h \) = Height | \( ft \) | \( m \) |
| \( h_l \) = Height of Depth of the Liquid Column | \( ft \) | \( m \) |
| \( \rho \) (Greek symbol rho) = Density | \(lbm\;/\;ft^3\) | \(kg\;/\;m^3\) |
| \( g \) = Gravitational Acceleration | \(ft\;/\;sec^2\) | \(m\;/\;s^2\) |
| \( m \) = Mass | \(lbm\) | \(kg\) |
| \( PE \) = Potential Energy | \( lbf-ft \) | \( J \) |
| \( p_b \) = Pressure at Bottom of Column | \(lbf\;/\;in^2\) | \(Pa\) |
| \( p_t \) = Pressure at Top of Column | \(lbf\;/\;in^2\) | \(Pa\) |
