Because weight exerts pressure as it 'accumulates'. There is little weight at the top of the container, but as gravity attracts the liquid towards the bottom of the container, so the pressure is greatest there.

Put some water into a balloon and see where the pressure of the water pushes on the skin of the balloon.

Can you re pierce an industrial?

It depends on how thick the scar tissue is. If it's to thick then the pressure could shatter your cart ledge the piercer will know so you don't have to worry about that. If the scar tissue is piercable it will still cause a little resistance so it will be more painful than the time before. I know this from experience since I have redone mine.


What is the difference between lining and coatings?

Linings are materials used to protect a container from corrosion and/or to protect the contents of a container from contamination by the container shell material. They are commonly thick, built-up systems that may or may not contain matting or similar reinforcing material. Coatings generally refer to materials used for protective and/or functional purposes, while paints refer to materials used for aesthetics or decorative purposes. When coatings are used singly or in combination with reinforcing materials like matting, etc., they are termed as "lining", like for lining the inside of drinking water tanks. However, there exist many similarities in composition, handling, and the use of paints, coatings and linings. There are also some differences. Shihui Zhou Shihui.Zhou@googlemail.com

When you describe a liquid as thick are you saying that it has a high or low viscosity?
