Sustainable pressure

(OP)
What maximum pressure (at 240m below sea level) is applied to a pipe (open ended at sea level) with a closed end at 240m below sea level?

RE: Sustainable pressure

Hi fletcher2536

Pressure changes with depth and therefore knowing the depth your pipe is at the pressure it see's at 240m is

   pressure= density * g * h


where density of sea water = 1010kg/m^3

g = grav const=9.81m/s^2

h= depth 240m


           pressure = 1010*9.81*240m=2277944N/m^2

RE: Sustainable pressure

1010kg/m3 looks low for seawater density. We normally use 1025 or 1026kg/m3
