PRESSURE

[Belboz]

Hello all,

Any of you experts out there tell me how I can work out the water pressure without using a gauge?

Basically, is there a formula if I know distance below tank [head] and pipe diameter and pipe length or do I need to work out the flow rate first?

In a nutshell, I need to purchase new bathroom taps, My bathroom taps are gravity fed [both hot and cold - cold from CW tank and HW from top of cylinder] and there is a minimum BAR on the taps I am looking at.

No point in purchasing unless I know what pressure I have.

Many Thanks

Belboz,

You need taps that will work with min pressure of 0.1 bar.

Thanks Rico.

The minimum on the ones I was looking at is 0.5 bar so I guess they are no good.

Ah well, back to the drawing board.....

Thanks
