Anyone any idea of what the pressure is at 12,000ft?  |
Here you go.
FYI sea water weighs 8.6 pounds per gallon (ppg)
So under 12800 ft of sea water, the pressure would be 5724 psi.
HHP = 0.052 * 8.6 ppg * 12800 ft = 5724.16 psi
Fresh water weighs 8.3 ppg
So if you were in 12800 ft of fresh water, the pressure would be 5524 psi.
HHP = 0.052 * 8.3 ppg * 12800 ft = 5524.48 psi
