Hello I am doing some self plumbing and need a little help. I have a 500 litre tankon the roof 13 meters up from ground floor I am planning on putting in a 8cm diameter vertical line. Now Iunderstand that pressure will be basically a function of height as in 1300cm cubed meaning pressure = 1.3 kg /cmsquared now the full weight of the water in the line will be roughly 65kg using volume formulas 4cm*4cm*3.14*1300 and 1l=1kg. This is very low water pressure but if I reduce pipe sizeat entry to my floor to say 2cm diameter will the full weight of the water aply to the new area and sky rocket my pressur.
