Introduction

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!

Explanation

The 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:
