I figured out my Gallons per minute using a 5 gallon bucket, now all I need to figure out is my PSI and Statci presure. Is there any way to figure this out without using a presure gage?

what are you conducting research in your apartment?

Thanks to Monsterone for my first sig.

PSI you will need to know the diameter of the pipe it was coming out of

Kitchen Sink?

Bathroom?

You drank a lot of Lite Beer?

You shoot a wad like Peter North?

Sorry I dont know, so I'm trying to be funny. trying.

No, just figuring out what to do with my sprinkler system which hasnt been used in over 2 years since my mother bought the hosue

well depending on where you took the reading from will depend on your PSI.

The way a pressure gauge works is by knowing the area of the hole the water is passing through and then taking a measurement.

I would think if you could find out the diameter of the pipe you can figure out the PSI.

EDIT: I think water temp will have an effect but i am not sure,

Damn this is killing me. i am determined to figure this out. send me more info if you can, like fill times and pipe size

Ok it took 25.3 seconds to fill a 5 gallon bucket From the very first output, off of a 3/4 PVC pipe

Here's a Hint:

=

In addition to coining the word "hydrodynamics," Daniel laid out the basic principles of the new science, applying Newton's basic laws to simplified cases of fluid dynamics. Out of this work came Bernoulli's Principle (or Law), which Euler helped express as a mathematical equation known as Bernoulli's Equation. What Bernoulli found boiled down to this: when a fluid is moving-through a pipe or conduit, or simply over any surface-it exerts pressure in all directions: against anything that is in the way of its flow, as well as against any surface it touches. For example, as water flows through a garden hose, you can feel the pressure of the water against the inner wall of the hose if you try to squeeze the hose. Now, if the fluid is non-compressible (meaning it can't he squeezed into a smaller volume, which is true of water, in most ordinary circumstances), and if there is no change in the amount of fluid flowing (meaning nothing is leaking out or coming in), then the faster the fluid is flowing, the lower its pressure against the surface it's flowing over will be.

That means that when you pinch the garden hose slightly in the middle and the water keeps coming out of the end at the same rate, then the water must be travelling through the pinched portion a little faster (since the same amount of water is passing through that section of the hose as before). Our intuition is that faster water exerts greater pressure (and it does, but only in the direction of the flow), but the pressure of the faster water against the wall of the hose (which is perpendicular to the direction of the flow) is less-a total surprise.

and thats how airplanes fly. =)

One way is to put clear tubes on the pipe, perpendicular to it and open to the atmosphere.

The height of the water indicates the pressue. This is pretty much what Bernoulli did. With water you get .43 ft/psi.

I'd say just go out and buy a manometer.

YEAH, Thats right! I said a Man O meter.
