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
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
