Head pressure is created by a column (depth) of water in a container. Pipe is considered a container. Diameter is not a factor. The higher the column of water, the more psi it creates. Multiply column height of water by .434 to get psi of water.
The pressure that water exerts on the walls of the dam is proportional to the depth of the water or you might say the height of the column of water from the base of the dam. The hydraulic height is the same as the depth of the water to the bottom of the dam.
The water pressure from a tank depends on the height of the water column above the outlet. Generally, water pressure can be calculated using the formula: pressure (in psi) = height (in feet) × 0.434. For example, a tank with water 10 feet high would create approximately 4.34 psi of pressure at the outlet. Additionally, factors such as tank shape and outlet size can influence the actual pressure experienced.
Because water towers are a cheap, reliable way of generating enough pressure to get the water into your house--not an issue with petroleum tanks. If you didn't have towers you'd have to use pumps, and buying enough pumps to meet peak demand would be prohibitively expensive for most towns. Towers simplify matters. You pump water up at a steady rate and gravity does all the work getting it down. Since the pressure is a function of the height of the column of water inside the tower, and since the height of that column doesn't diminish appreciably until the tank is virtually empty, the pressure stays steady regardless of fluctuations in supply and/or demand.
Heat is used to convert water to vapor.
To convert inches of water column to volume, you would need to know the area over which the water column is acting. Once you have the area, you can calculate the volume by multiplying the inches of water column by the area in square inches. The formula would be: Volume = Inches of water column * Area.
That depends on how wide the column is.

The formula for calculating water pressure height is: Pressure Density of water x Gravity x Height.
Water column head is expressed either as the height of the column ... 6 meters here ... or else as the pressure at the bottom ... 58.842 kPa here. 'Kg' can't be a unit of water column head, and the diameter of the column is irrelevant.
Yes, the height of a water column in a container does depend on the pressure acting on it. The greater the pressure, the higher the water column will be due to greater force pushing the water upwards. This is based on the principle of hydrostatic pressure in fluid mechanics.
It is approx 46.3 feet.
Are you asking hydrostatic (standing still) or if the water is under pressure such as the pressure at the base of a riser based on the height of the column of water?

The conversion factor of 12.6 is used to convert mercury pressure to water pressure because pressure is directly proportional to the density of the fluid. Since mercury has a density that is 13.6 times greater than water, the pressure exerted by a column of mercury will be 13.6 times greater than the pressure exerted by a column of water of the same height. Therefore, to convert mercury pressure to water pressure, we need to divide by the ratio of the densities, which is 13.6.
water is 1/13.5 as dense as mercury.Therefore, since mercury maintains a height of 760 mm at sea level:760/13.5 = 10,260 mm, or 10.26 meters
The formula for water is H₂O, which indicates that each molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. In the context of a water column, it typically refers to the height of a column of water that exerts a pressure at its base, measured in units like meters or feet. The pressure exerted by a water column can be calculated using the formula ( P = \rho g h ), where ( P ) is pressure, ( \rho ) is the density of the water, ( g ) is the acceleration due to gravity, and ( h ) is the height of the water column.
