That pressure due to the weight of a column of liquid ( formation water, drilling mud, etc.) extending from the depth of interest to the liquid level which might or might not be at the surface.
The pressure within a fluid (such as water) at rest, exerted on a given point within the body of the fluid.
the force exerted by a body of fluid at rest. It increases directly with the density and the depth of the fluid and is expressed in pounds per square inch or kilopascals. The hydrostatic pressure of fresh water is 0.433 pounds per square inch per foot of depth (9.792 kilopascals per meter). In drilling, the term refers to the pressure exerted by the drilling fluid in the wellbore. In a water drive field, the term refers to the pressure that may furnish the primary energy for production.
The force created by the water that tends to push pools up out of the ground.
(1) The pressure, expressed as a total quantity or per unit of area, exerted by a body of water at rest. (2) In the case of groundwater, the pressure generally due to the weight of water at higher levels in the same saturation zone.
The pressure resulting from the weight of overlying water. Hydrostatic pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 metres depth.
The pressure exerted by the density of drilling fluids in the wellbore.
Another name for head or pressure under static conditions, ie. with no flow of water or gas. The other type of pressure is "dynamic" ie. measured when water or gas is measured while flowing.
the pressure that exists at any place in a body of fluid due to the weight of the fluid above.
(3) the pressure exerted by the water at any given point in a water body at rest. The hydrostatic pressure of ground water is generally due to the weight of water at higher levels in the zone of saturation.
Water pressure, generally on or against the exterior of a basement blockwall.
The pressure created when trying to compress a liquid.
the pressure exerted at a given depth by the weight of the overlying column of water
The pressure in liquids at rest.
The pressure exerted by a liquid.
The pressure exerted or transmitted by water at rest.
Pressure of fluid in a system (e.g. vascular system or extracellular fluid). Often used as equivalent to osmotic pressure when dealing with flow of water across membranes. Investigate this using a hydrostatic and osmotic pressure simulator.
Pressure exerted by or existing within a liquid at rest with respect to adjacent bodies
The pressure exerted on rock or unconsolidated sediment by groundwater flow through a porous medium; lateral water flow is generated by a hydrostatic head or variation in the piezometric surface;
Pressure due only to the weight of the liquid itself; hydrostatic pressure goes from zero at the top of a column of liquid to a maximum at the bottom of the column. ID inside diameter
Pressure which forces water up through a below-grade slab, generally causing installation problems due to moisture. This occurs when the water table is higher than the slab. Hydrostatic pressure is caused by the weight of the water pressing down on itself. Contrary to popular belief, this is not the cause of most problems with resilient flooring.
Fluid pressure is exerted equally on all surface areas of an immersed body at rest at a given depth. Water exerts a force on the body even when it is stationary. The pressure of the water helps the heart circulate blood by aiding venous return blood flow back to the heart. This assistance to the heart accounts for lower blood pressure and heart rates during deep water exercise versus similar exertions on land. As a result, water exercise may be one of the safest and most useful fitness programs for cardiac patients, Hydrostatic pressure also helps reduce swelling for many and can accelerate the healing process by increasing the volume of nutrient rich blood being circulated throughout the body, allowing many people with injuries or arthritis to exercise comfortably.
The pressure exerted by an accumulation of water under a basement floor or at below grade foundation areas of the house from the exterior.
Pressure exerted by standing water.
The pressure exerted in all directions by a given point in a body of water, usually caused by the weight of water overlying it.
The exertion of pressure in all directions equally at points within an enclosed gas or liquid at rest.
A force involving built up ground water which creates upward pressure beneath the pool shell.
The pressure which is exerted on a portion of a column of fluid as a result of the weight of the fluid above it.
The pressure at a specific elevation exerted by a body of water at rest or, In the case of groundwater, the pressure at a specific elevation due to the weight of water at higher levels in the same zone of saturation.
Pressure exerted by fluid against walls of containing vessel.
the pressure equivalent to that exerted on a surface by a column of water of a given height.
