Vapor Pressure of Water

Question. What is the vapor pressure of water at 212F, expressed in feet

of water?
Answer. Because the vapor pressure of water at 212F is 14.7 psia (standard barometric pressure at sea level),
the equivalent head in feet of 62F water
is 14.7 2.31 33.9 ft. The specific gravity of water at 212F is 0.959. Then
water at this temperature has a vapor pressure of 33.9 0.959 35.4 ft. of
212F water.
When figuring pump heads, care must be taken to convert pressures to feet
of liquid at the pumping temperature and not to use conversion factors applying
to other temperatures.
