Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Could someone tell me what the head pressure of water is. I.E. I have a 11,000 gallon (imp) tank , what psi would this water create ?
Also does this value change if the temp. of the water changes ?
Thanking you in advance for any and all help.

The volume of water is irrelevant, the temperature is a minor issue. What you need to know is the height of the column of water under consideration. Suppose you have a tap 10 metres below the bottom of the tank. Add to this the level of water in the tank, eg 2 metres. The pressure is 1.4 PSI for every metre of water so the pressure is total head of 12 metres x 1.4 =12.8 psi. Johnno.
