For every vertical foot of pipe, take that and multiply it by .434.This equation will get within 1/2 -1/4 psi.

When dealing with water pressure there is no head unless the pipe is blocked off right?

If water is flowing through pipe, no head pressure can build up. Blocking off flow of water will create head pressure in pipe as long as pipe is vertical. A vertical column of water creates head pressure.


Will water flow out of a pipe if the pipe is covered with water?

Yes, as long as the water coming out of the pipe has a greater pressure than the water that is covering the pipe. If it is the other way around, the water covering the pipe will actually flow into the pipe. Think about it. It just makes sense.


When water moves from large pipe to small size pipe then what will be the pressure?

The pressure will rise, but you haven't given us anyvolume or pressure figures to begin with .


What condition is necessary for the sustained flow of water in a pipe?

negative pressure is needed for a sustained flow of water in a pipe.

How much water can go through a 1inch pipe?

depends on the pressure pushing through the pipe


Water flows at 12ms in a horizontal pipe with a pressure of 30000 Nm2 If the pipe widens to twice its horiginal radius what is the pressure in the water section?

the answer would be 48 m/s


Dangers of increases water pressure?

Erosion / pipe bursting /pressure vessel failures


What is the effect of water pressure at the pipe joints?

Water constantly exerts pressure on pipe joints. I have seen old soldered joints flying apart when subjected to extreme pressure or trains passing nearby. This sometimes happens with plastic pipe also if joints are not thoroughly set .


How much PSI does it take to push one gallon of water through a one half inch pipe?

That would also depend on the length of the pipe, and on how fast you want the water to move. If you are in no hurry, even the slightest pressure will be enough to push the water through the pipe.That would also depend on the length of the pipe, and on how fast you want the water to move.
