The American Standard gallon contains 231 cubic

inches, or 8⅓ pounds of pure water. A cubic foot

contains 62.3 pounds of water, or 7.48 gallons.

Pressure per square inch is equal to the depth or

head in feet multiplied by .433. Each 27.72 inches

of depth gives a pressure of one pound to the square

inch.
