Review the method below for assumptions and conventions.

How to use this tool

  1. Enter fluid density, vertical height, gravitational acceleration.
  2. Select Calculate to view the result.
  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

The method, explained

Gauge pressure = fluid density × g × depth.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using fluid density = 1000 kg/m³, vertical height = 10 m, gravitational acceleration = 9.80665 m/s², the result is 98066.5 Pa. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

What to keep in mind

Does not include atmospheric pressure. Density is treated as constant. An idealized educational model using the stated SI units. Real systems may need additional forces, losses or experimental measurements. Not a safety or equipment specification.

Common questions

Which inputs does this calculation need?

Find pressure added by a static fluid column. Enter fluid density in kg/m³, vertical height in m, gravitational acceleration in m/s². The filled example is editable and is not a saved personal record.

How should I interpret the result?
