Fluid pressure is force exerted per unit area. It increases with depth due to the weight of fluid above, creating hydrostatic pressure.
Formel
The calculator applies P = P₀ + ρgh
- P
- P₀ + ρgh — P₀ + ρgh

Lösta exempel
Ingång
ρ = 1000 kg/m³ (water), g = 9.81 m/s², h = 10 m
Resultat
P = 98.1 kPa gauge pressure
Absolute: 199.2 kPa
Vanliga misstag att undvika
- ✕Confusing gauge and absolute pressure
- ✕Using depth instead of vertical distance in pressure calculations
Vanliga frågor
Why does pressure increase linearly with depth?
Each additional meter of fluid adds the same weight per unit area, creating linear pressure increase.
What's the difference between gauge and absolute pressure?
Gauge pressure measures above atmospheric pressure; absolute pressure includes atmospheric contribution.
