  • Calculating Water Pressure in Elevated Tanks: A Simple Formula
    The formula to calculate the pressure in feet of water of an elevated water tank is:

    Pressure (feet of water) = Height of the tank (feet) x Specific gravity of water (1)

    For example:

    If the height of the elevated water tank is 100 feet:

    Pressure (feet of water) = 100 feet x 1

    = 100 feet of water

    Therefore, the pressure at the base of the elevated water tank is 100 feet of water.
