Fluid Pressure at Depth

The pressure exerted on a fluid depends only on the depth of the fluid.

 

Fluid PRESSURE at Depth formula

\(\large{ p =  \rho \;  g  \;  h  }\)

Where:

Units	English	Metric
\(\large{ p }\) = fluid pressure	\(\large{\frac{lbf}{in^2}}\)	\(\large{Pa}\)
\(\large{ \rho }\)   (Greek symbol rho) = density of fluid	\(\large{\frac{lbm}{ft^3}}\)	\(\large{\frac{kg}{m^3}}\)
\(\large{ g }\) = gravitational acceleration	\(\large{\frac{ft}{sec^2}}\)	\(\large{\frac{m}{s^2}}\)
\(\large{ h }\) = height	\(\large{ft}\)	\(\large{m}\)
