Hey! I get the same type of trouble frequently. I'm sorry that i can't be helpful. I am so sympathetic to you 8)
Cost varies with size, pressure, and temperature requirements.
Loss of oxygen pressure in a tank in the service module.
It was actually considered a near disaster, and this was because wires were exposed in the oxygen tank, creating rising and falling oxygen pressure. A spark from a wire also caused a fire, ripping apart one tank and damaging the next.
The external tank is jettisoned from the Orbiter less than a minute after main engine cut off (MECO which occurs about eight minutes after launch). The tank does not enter or leave Earth orbit. It is maneuvered such that it's trajectory will take it to an unoccupied area of either the Pacific or Indian Oceans (depending upon the launch profile). The tank is made to roll end over end as it descends so that it increases the atmospheric friction and causes it to disintegrate prior to making contact with the ocean. Nasa does warn inhabitants in the affected areas in case some debris does reach the Earth's surface.
the external tank carries the fuel
standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.73 psi Absolute pressure is a gauge plus atmospheric pressure. The gauge being something that you are detecting.. i.e hot water tank.
assume that the air is originally at atmospheric pressure
No, only when it is released into the atmosphere at the ambient pressure.

None! A tank at atmospheric pressure already has an absolute pressure of 1.013 bar.
A tank is designed to hold the maximum hydrostatic pressure at the base -- based on the depth of the tank, the density of the material it holds, and maximum atmospheric pressure (with added margin for safety). A tank wall may be constructed with 'thicker' material at the base and 'thinner' material at the top, to save cost. The top of the tank need only support its own weight (plus safety margin). A pressure vessel must withstand the rated pressure at all points around the surface of the vessel.
Since we are ignoring atmospheric pressure, the pressure at the bottom of the tank is given by p = dgh. Where d equals density, g is acceleration of gravity, and h is the height below the fluid surface. In this case, the density of water is 10^3 kg/m^3, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2, and the height is 4 m. This means the pressure is 39.2 kPa.
Normally used on atmospheric tank for level measurement. One port is "free" for compensate the pressure of the air column (atmosphere) and measure only the pressure generated by the fluid in to the tank, so it can be converted in a level measure. Kin
No. Nothing to do with it. Much more likely there is an air leak between pump and pressure tank, or pressure tank needs a new aircharge.
The water pressure depends on the residual air pressure in the tank. Normally it should be between 30 -50-psi. Tank air pressure is important, it should be about 27-29 when water is nearly empty.
Ignoring atmospheric pressure, overall pressure is equivalent to the specific weight of the liquid times the depth. Water has a density of 1 kg/m3 and gravity has a force of 9.81 m/s2. So specific weight = density * gravity = 9.81 kg/m2s2. When multiplied by 4 meters, the answer is 39.24 Pascal's. (1 Pascal = 1kg/ms2).
since check valve holds water in the line can a hand pump be installed between the check valve and water tank?
