Static Pressure Calculator

Welcome! This page helps you calculate the static pressure in a fluid at any given depth. Knowing the static pressure can help you better understand the properties of the fluid and the environment it's in. Let's get started!

ExplanationThe pressure in a fluid varies with height, the greater the depth from the free surface, the greater the pressure acting on the particle.
﻿
The pressure can be calculated using the following expression:
