Calculation Formula

P = ρ × g × h

Where:
P = Pressure (Pascal)
ρ = Water Density (kg/m³)
g = Gravity (m/s²)
h = Water Depth (meters)

Equivalent Air Depth Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Equivalent Air Depth Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the water depth in meters
  2. Enter the water density (default is 1000 kg/m³ for fresh water)
  3. Enter the gravity value (default is 9.81 m/s²)
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to get the results
  5. The calculator will display the pressure in Pascal and the equivalent air depth in meters

Working Principle

The calculator uses the formula P = ρ × g × h to calculate the hydrostatic pressure at a given depth. Where:

  • P = Pressure (Pascal)
  • ρ = Water Density (kg/m³)
  • g = Gravity (m/s²)
  • h = Water Depth (meters)

The equivalent air depth is a measure of the pressure experienced at a given depth, which can be used to determine the appropriate breathing mixture for deep diving operations.

Applications

This calculator is useful for:

  • Divers calculating the pressure they will experience at different depths
  • Underwater construction workers determining the appropriate equipment for deep operations
  • Scientific researchers studying underwater environments
