How to use it
- Enter vertical height or depth and unit.
- Enter fluid density.
- Calculate pressure in four units.
Water Pressure Calculator
Calculate ideal static pressure from an entered fluid column height and density.
Important: This calculator provides an educational estimate only. It is not plumbing, pump, pressure-vessel, dam, turbine, electrical, flood-safety, installation, engineering, legal, or regulatory-compliance advice.
About the Water Pressure Calculator
Convert vertical fluid height into ideal gauge pressure at the bottom of a static column.
Formula
Pressure equals density times gravitational acceleration times vertical height.
Example
Ten meters of water at 1,000 kg/m³ produces about 98.07 kPa of ideal static pressure.
Notes
Atmospheric pressure, motion, surges, vessel geometry and structural limits are not evaluated.
