[physical] water tank under pressure

[harry ravi]

Hi,

Here I have a question on the compression of water in a tank.

I am wondering about the notion of incompressible fluids.

Here is :
a 10L tank, I want to fill it with pure water at a pressure of 10 bars (normally 100L of water at 1 bar).
Is this possible?
In addition, this tank will weigh 10kg or 100kg (weight of the tank not included)?


Thank you in advance.

sorry harry, you can compress gas, not water.
You can compress gas until it becomes liquid, and therefore take up less space, and therefore put more liters in a volume X, but water is no ...

Too bad, in fact it was to use a cheap density and not to be forced to use a weight made entirely of metal.

What exactly do you want to do? put a counterweight on the front of a tractor?

[harry ravi]

I'm just looking for the heaviest, smallest and least expensive weight possible.

you want to compress water to make heavy water?

[harry ravi]

No no, just to have a lot of weight in a small volume so that it costs me less than buying metal.

[chatelot16]

no hope with compressed water ...

a little better :
2.7 density concrete

iron: density 7.8
lead: density 9

to make it denser there is platinum, gold, mercury, uranium, but it's not the cheapest!

Hi Harry,

Water is incompressible, unless you have huge pressures (thousands of Bar), and again ...

With 10 Bar, the volume is almost the same as at 1 bar. Kind of like oil.

Look for a large block of cast iron or steel. 8 Tons / m3, or 8kg / Liter
or pieces of loose scrap. An old tiller block, etc ...

Cheap and really dense

Otherwise, pour concrete into a 200L drum filled with scrap. Bourrin, but not expensive either (but less dense than pure iron ...

What is the density of cast iron?

It seems to me that this material is less expensive than steel.
