Direct answer
What this result means
Hydrostatic gauge pressure equals liquid density multiplied by gravitational acceleration and vertical depth. The result describes an ideal static liquid column. It does not convert immersion depth into an IP rating or prove a complete cable-entry assembly suitable.
Formula & theory
Make the assumptions visible.
The equation returns pressure relative to the liquid surface. Absolute pressure would additionally include atmospheric pressure.

Variables
Use sequence
From measurement to review
- Measure vertical depth from the free liquid surface to the entry.
- Enter the applicable liquid density and gravity.
- Use the pressure only as an engineering input; verify the complete installation rating separately.
Limits
What this calculation does not confirm
- The liquid is static and has uniform density.
- Dynamic jets, waves, pressure surges and capillary paths are excluded.
- No IP or long-term immersion claim is derived from pressure alone.
