  2. Pore pressure gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pore_pressure_gradient

    Using the figures above, we can calculate the maximum pressure at various depths in an offshore oil well. Saltwater is 0.444 psi/ft (2.5% higher than fresh water but this not general and depends on salt concentration in water) Pore pressure in the rock could be as high as 1.0 psi/ft of depth (19.25 lb/gal)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_bladder

    Standard fuel bladder tanks sizes range from 100-US-gallon (380 L) to 200,000-US-gallon (760,000 L) capacities and larger. Custom fuel storage bladders and cells are available, although at sizes exceeding 50,000 US gallons (190,000 L) there is an increased spill risk.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_(container)

    A 200-litre drum (known as a 55-gallon drum in the United States and a 44-gallon drum in the United Kingdom and the rest of the world) is a cylindrical container with a nominal capacity of 200 litres (55 US or 44 imp gal). The exact capacity varies by manufacturer, purpose, or other factors.

  6. Pressure tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_tank

    Case 2 is a tank in use, with the air pressure at pressure P (gauge) and a water volume of V. Referring to the diagram on the right, a pressure tank is generally pressurized when empty with a "charging pressure" P c, which is usually about 2 psi below the turn-on pressure P lo (Case 1). The total volume of the tank is V t.

  7. Well control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_control

    Subnormal pore pressure is defined as any formation pressure that is less than the corresponding fluid hydrostatic pressure at a given depth. [6] Subnormally pressured formations have pressure gradients lower than fresh water or less than 0.433 psi/ft (0.0979 bar/m).

    Quiñones noted that in the Palisades, where water pressure for fire hydrants is fed by three water tanks containing 1 million gallons each, the tanks had run out of water by 3 a.m. Wednesday morning.

  9. Jerrycan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerrycan

    A jerrycan or jerrican (also styled jerry can or jerri can) [1] is a fuel container made from pressed steel (and more recently, high density polyethylene). It was designed in Germany in the 1930s for military use to hold 20 litres (4.4 imp gal; 5.3 US gal) of fuel, and saw widespread use by both Germany and the Allies during the Second World War.
