What else can I help you with?
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.
What type of pipe do you use to hook up a water riser?
water pipe
How much more pressure does it take to push water up a vertical pipe than if the pipe is on a 45 degree angle?
it takes the same pressure if the vertical heights the same but since the 45 degree pipe would be longer it would create more flow restriction.
How does water get into water towers?
Water is forced up through a pipe or pipes.
Is pipe grade important for water lines?
Yes, pipe grade is important for water lines as it affects the flow and drainage of water. Proper grading ensures that water flows efficiently without stagnation, which can lead to contamination or water quality issues. Additionally, appropriate pipe grade can help prevent pressure build-up and reduce the risk of leaks or bursts in the system. Ensuring the correct grade is crucial for the longevity and reliability of water infrastructure.
Can water flow uphill?
Water can flow up hill if there is some sort of machine that is able to pull it. Water does not naturally flow up hill it always flows downstream due to gravity.
Is it possible for water to flow up a pipe?
Yes, water can flow up a pipe through a process called capillary action, where the water molecules are drawn upward against gravity due to surface tension and adhesion forces.
Flow of water in a 12 pipe in a minute 40 psi?
To calculate the flow of water in a pipe, you would need to know the diameter of the pipe, the pressure (40 psi), and the fluid properties. The flow rate can be determined using the Darcy-Weisbach equation, taking into account the pipe diameter, pressure, and fluid characteristics. Without more information, it is not possible to determine the flow rate accurately.

Can floods go up hill?
Water obviously doesn't flow uphill, but if there is a lot of water in something like a valley, it will rise up the hill on either side, so in that way it can go uphill.
How do solder copper pipes with water in them?
That cant be done because as long as there is water in them the temperature of the pipe wont go up enough to allow the solder to flow. you have to remove the water.
Why you want to set up a water tank higher than your house?
Water has the ability to maintain its level . The pressure of water pipe system increase with height , Thus for the easy flow of water in a pipe system , the water tanks are constructed at highest level in your houses.
Underwater pressure--Can you make water flow upward continuously if you vertically submerge one end of a 1-inch pipe 10 meters or more under seawater?
Yes....that is the water will flow up the pipe until it reaches the level of the water and stop. I don't get it. At the surface level the pressure is supposed to be 14.7 psi; doubled at 10 meters deep. If submerging a pipe deep enough for a significant pressure difference, can we harness the continuous upward flow of water for some application?
What type of pipe do you use to hook up a water riser?
water pipe
Why does it take ten minutes for the hot water to travel the last 18 inches to your bathroom tap?
Sounds like you have galvanized pipe. Over time deposits, or scale, build up inside these pipes from the minerals present in all tapwater. This build-up narrows the diameter of the pipe to a very few millimeters, thereby restricting water flow. The best solution for this is to re-pipe, as much as you can, with copper piping. Copper does not have a problem with scaling. If that's too expensive re-pipe with galvanized pipe. One way or another, you'll need to do some re-piping to improve your water flow.
What direction does the Buck River flow?
The Buck River flows North because wind currents and the hill pushes the water up north.
How did the panama canal work?
Locks work by taking the advantage of water running down hill. The water is raised by closing the downstream pipe, filling up the box. Anything floating in the box will raise. Closing the upstream pipe and opening the downstream one causes the water level to sink as it flows away.
