Aug 6, 2005 #2 desertfox Mechanical Dec 29, 2002 5,554 Hi fletcher2536 Pressure changes with depth and therefore knowing the depth your pipe is at the pressure it see's at 240m is pressure= density * g * h where density of sea water = 1010kg/m^3 g = grav const=9.81m/s^2 h= depth 240m pressure = 1010*9.81*240m=2277944N/m^2 regards desertfox Upvote 0 Downvote
