How do you make a calibration for differential pressure?

To calibrate differential pressure, you will need a calibration instrument such as a pressure gauge or calibrator. Connect the instrument to the differential pressure device, apply a known pressure, and compare the readings from the device to the instrument. Adjust the device's output if necessary to match the known pressure applied for accurate calibration.

What is Starling's Law of the capillaries?

The hypothesis that fluid filtration through capillary membranes is dependent on the balance between the pressure the blood places on the membranes and the osmotic pressure of the membranes. The law relating to the passage of fluid out of a capillary depending on the hydrostatic and osmotic pressures of the blood and the same pressures of tissue fluid, the net effect of the opposing pressures determining the direction and rate of flow.

What happens to water if you compress it more and more and more?

As water is compressed, its density increases, making it harder to compress further. However, if you manage to compress water to extremely high pressures, it could turn into ice. This is known as "ice VII", a high-pressure phase of ice that forms under extreme conditions.
