Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure that is exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point within the fluid, due to the force ofgravity.Hydrostatic pressure increases in proportion to depth measured from the surface because of the increasing weight of fluid exerting downwardforcefrom above. I...
“Hydrostatic Pressure” refers to a water pressure and is a major cause of basement water problems. Water weighs slightly more than 60lbs. per cubic foot. If the soil around your basement is saturated with water, there could be tens of thousands of pounds of hydrostatic pressure...
In simple sense, the release mechanism of a liferaft is somewhat similar to the oxygen masks we have in aircraft, where a drop in the cabin pressure triggers them to drop above all the seats and enables the passengers or crew to use them for breathing. Thetriggeris air pressure, whereas ...
Hydrostatic testing is a mandatory prerequisite in pipeline, meter skid and wellhead commissioning and it is also used to qualify smaller pressure vessels for service. The frequency of re-qualification testing depends on the age of the unit, the substance it contains, the material construction and ...
The pressure at any point inside the fluid due to the force of gravity at the equilibrium condition or static condition of the fluid is called the Hydrostatic pressure. The hydrostatic pressure is the function of the depth of the point from the ...
A hydrostatic test or hydro test is a widely used method to ensure leak tightness and safety of pressure vessels, piping systems, pipeline systems, plumbing systems, tanks, boilers, cylinders, and other system components. The test is performed by subjecting the material to a predecided controlled...
When compared to ball or roller bearings, hydrostatic bearings are very simple in design, manufacture, and operation. Conventional bearings require the precisionmachiningof balls or rollers and the inner and outer casings they run in. This is obviously expensive and time consuming especially when the...

What is hydrostatic stress condition? In continuum mechanics, hydrostatic stress, also known as volumetric stress, isa component of stress which contains uniaxial stresses, but not shear stresses. ... It is often used interchangeably with "pressure" and is also known as confining stress, particularl...
What is rigidity modulus of a liquid? Hooke's Law: According to the Hooke's law, the stress produced due to a uniaxial loading is directly proportional to the strain developed. Hooke's law is valid in linear elastic region that is upto proportional limit. The Hooke's law is also defined...
