Water Column
Hydrostatic pressure in water is directly related to the depth in which the pressure is measured. Very frequently the vertical distance from the surface to the pressure point we wish to measure is referred to as "WATER COLUMN".

Hydrostatic pressure is increasing with the height of "water column" (the depth from the surface).

When ozonating water, diffusers are exposed to hydrostatic pressure which translates to the back pressure in ozone line. This pressure is changing with the "water column", therefore following can be observed:

  1. Air/Ozone Flow - with increasing back pressure the flow output of the air pump decreases.
  2. Ozone Concentration:
    1. with decreasing flow, ozone concentration increases
    2. with increasing back pressure in ozone line the density of ozone gas generated as well as ozone concentration also increases
 

We provide this glossary to assist clients in the selection and operation of our complete line of Ultra-Pure Laboratory Ozone Generators, Ozone Gas Analyzers, and Ozone Accessories, as well as services such as material exposure testing.
