Liquid head to pressure calculator

Convert metres of liquid column to bar and psi, and back.

How it's calculated

p = ρ × g × h = SG × 9.807 × h (kPa, h in m)

10 m of water is about 0.98 bar (a little under 1 bar); 1 psi lifts water about 2.3 ft. Handy for tank level transmitters, pump suction checks and working out static head in a system.
