  2. Hydrostatic head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_head

    Hydrostatic head is also used as a measure of the waterproofing of a fabric, commonly in clothing and equipment used for outdoor recreation.It is measured as a length (typically millimetres), representing the maximum height of a vertical column of water that could be placed on top of the fabric before water started seeping through the weave.

  3. Hydraulic head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_head

    Measuring hydraulic head in an artesian aquifer, where the water level is above the ground surface. Hydraulic head or piezometric head is a specific measurement of liquid pressure above a vertical datum. [1] [2] It is usually measured as a liquid surface elevation, expressed in units of length, at the entrance (or bottom) of a piezometer.

  4. Hydrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatics

    p is the hydrostatic pressure (Pa), ρ is the fluid density (kg/m 3), g is gravitational acceleration (m/s 2), z is the height (parallel to the direction of gravity) of the test area (m), 0 is the height of the zero reference point of the pressure (m) p_0 is the hydrostatic pressure field (Pa) along x and y at the zero reference point

  5. Pressure head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_head

    Pressure head is a component of hydraulic head, in which it is combined with elevation head. When considering dynamic (flowing) systems, there is a third term needed: velocity head. Thus, the three terms of velocity head, elevation head, and pressure head appear in the head equation derived from the Bernoulli equation for incompressible fluids:

  6. Well kill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_kill

    It works on the principle that the hydrostatic head of the "kill fluid" or "kill mud" will be enough to suppress the pressure of the formation fluids. Well kills may be planned in the case of advanced interventions such as workovers, or be contingency operations. The situation calling for a well kill will dictate the method taken.

    Hydraulics and other studies [1] An open channel, with a uniform depth. Open-channel hydraulics deals with uniform and non-uniform streams. Illustration of hydraulic and hydrostatic, from the "Table of Hydraulics and Hydrostatics", from Cyclopædia, or an Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences, edited by Ephraim Chambers, 1728, Vol. 1

  9. Hydrostatic test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_test

    A hydrostatic test is a way in which pressure vessels such as pipelines, plumbing, gas cylinders, boilers and fuel tanks can be tested for strength and leaks. The test involves filling the vessel or pipe system with a liquid, usually water, which may be dyed to aid in visual leak detection , and pressurization of the vessel to the specified ...
