  1. 1 Gallon of Water =
    •  231 Cubic Inches (CI)
    •  8.35 lbs
  2. 1 Cubic Foot of Water =
    • 62.5 lbs
    • 7.481 Gallons
    • 1728 Cubic
  3. Atmospheric Pressure at Sea Level =
    14.7psi
  4. 1psi will raise a column of water =
     2.304'
  5. Column of water 1' high will exert =
     .434psi
  6. Maximum Theoretical Lift =
     33.8'
  7. Maximum Lift =
     22.6‟
  8. 1” of Hg =
     .5psi
  9. Rectangular Container Estimation:

    C =  Capacity in Gallons
    L =  Length in Feet
    W = Width in Feet
    H =  Height in Feet
    7.481 = Gallons per Cubic Foot

    • Example #1: C = 10'L x 20'W x 5'H x 7.481
    •                   
    •                    C = 7,481 Gallons
  10. Estimating a Circular Container:

    C = Capacity in Gallons
    6 = Mathematically calculated constant
    D = Diameter
    H = Height in Feet
    • Example #2:  A cylindrical tank 30' in diameter and 15' in height. What is the capacity in gallons?



    • C = 6 (30)2 x 15
    • C = (6 x 900) x 15
    • C = 5400 x 15
    • C = 81,000 Gallons
