Pressure to Water Depth

The Pressure to Water Depth calculator converts input pressure (P) and density of water (ρ) into the approximated depth of water where the pressure would occur.

INSTRUCTION: Choose units and enter the following:

• (P) Pressure
• (ρ) Density of Water (default of 1025 kg/m³ for density of sea water)

Depth of Water (D):  The calculator returns the depth of water that would create the pressure.

The Math / Science

The column of water above an object creates a pressure that increases with the depth.  This calculator estimates the depth required to create the specified pressure.  The formula for the depth of water associated with a pressure is:

       d = p / (g•ρ)

where:

• d = depth of water at pressure
• g = acceleration due to gravity
• ρ = density of water.
