Are you refering to hydrostatic pressure? You use this in a number of ways. One way that you do probably without realising it, is when you cook a BBQ. Not directly actually, but let's delve into it. The LPG tank the BBQ uses had to go through stringent testing proceedures to ensure that it doesn't explode and take someone's eye out. Or head. One of these tests is the hydrostatic pressure test, were the vessel is filled with water and pressurised to 1.25 - 1.5 times the working pressure of the vessel. The reason for using water instead of gas is that much less work is required to get the fluid up to pressure, thus less energy is stored in the fluid and less death would result in a vessel failure during testing.
I hope this answered your question.

Why is a replenishing pump mecessary in closed loop hydrostatic circuit?
you need replenishing pump in closed loop hydrostatic transmission is following reason 1)for leakage compensation in the hydrostatic transmission system 2)to reduce heat of the system by adding new volume of relatively cool hydraulic fluid into the system. for further details contact Ramakrishnan IIT madras ramakrishnanphd@gmail.com
What is hydrostatic pressure used for drilling oil wells?
In Drilling terminology, hydrostatic pressure is "The pressure exerted on a column of fluid at rest". This said, an oil well is just a column of fluid. Hydrostatic pressure is used to control the formation pressure in a well in order to prevent a "kick" (an influx of fluid into the well bore) or a blow-out (an uncontrolled influx of fluid into the well bore). Hydrostatic Pressure is calculated by a simple calculation = depth in meters x weight of drilling fluid in kg/m3 x gravity constant of 0.00981. IE. drilling at a depth of 3459m with drilling fluid that weighs 1120 kg/m3 would give you a Hydrostatic pressure of 38005 kpa. This is the amount of pressure that is being exerted on the formation at 3459m

What are hydrostatic bonds?
Hydrostatic refers to a fluid being at rest. A hydrostatic bond would be a bond between atoms within the fluid, while it is at rest.
What is hydrostatic release unit?
Hydrostatic relase unit is a safety feature incorporated in life raft onboard. When ship sinks,the HRU(hydrostatic release unit) cuts the lashing(white) rope around the life raft at about 4 meter and due to buoyancy of life raft box which is fibre glass reforced nylon will life up.As a weak link painter is attach will be streched due to ship is sinking and life raft is lifted up due to reserve buoyancy, Due to the sketch of the painter the life raft get inflated and the weak link about 2 +- 0.4 kN will break the painter and the flated life raft is avaible for the serivours to board.
