Static Pressure vs. Head

Calculate the relationship between static pressure and head in fluids. This tool demonstrates how pressure changes with elevation based on fluid density, specific weight, and gravitational acceleration using the fundamental equations of fluid statics.

Parameter	Value	Unit	Description
Fluid Density (ρ)	1000	kg/m³	Mass per unit volume of the fluid
Gravitational Acceleration (g)	9.81	m/s²	Standard acceleration due to gravity
Specific Weight (γ)	9810	N/m³	Normal force per unit volume: γ = ρ × g
Height Difference (Δh)	10	m	Vertical distance between two elevation points
Reference Pressure (p₂)	101300	Pa	Atmospheric pressure at reference level
Pressure Difference (Δp)	98100	Pa	Pressure change: Δp = γ × Δh
Absolute Pressure (p₁)	199400	Pa	Total pressure: p₁ = γ × Δh + p₂
Gauge Pressure	98100	Pa	Pressure above atmospheric: p₁ - p₂
