HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE

Specialty Definition: HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE

DomainDefinition

Building & Civil Engineering

Pressure of the artesian water. Source: European Union. (references)

Mining

A. Stress that is uniform in all directions, e.g., beneath a homogeneous fluid, and causes dilation rather than distortion in isotropic materials b. The pressure exerted by the water at any given point in a body of water at rest. The hydrostatic pressure of ground water is generally due to theweight of water at higher levels in the zone of saturation e.g., beneath a homogeneous fluid, and causes dilation rather than distortion in isotropic materials.

Photo Album: HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE

ThumbnailDescription & Credit

Figure 10. Buchanan mercury piezometer - the second type of piezometer made by John Buchanan during the CHALLENGER Expedition. Like the preceding model, this type had thermometers which remained open to the hydrostatic pressure of the sea at the depth deployed. Buchanan credited Aime with this idea and used this instrument to study the compressibility of mercury. Credit: Sailing for Science - the NOAA Fleet Then and Now.
