Elevation Pressure

Calculates hydraulic static pressure change from fluid density and elevation difference using the hydrostatic pressure equation. The template reports elevation head, pressure change in kPa, and pressure change in bar.

with-tool: The model is given an executable Python calculator script.

How this task is generated

One template produces many comparable benchmark tasks while keeping the scoring contract fixed.

  1. 01

    Template

    The reusable contract shown on this page.

  2. 02

    Scenario

    An archetype and site context are sampled.

  3. 03

    Difficulty tier

    Inputs may be hidden at harder tiers.

  4. 04

    Task prompt

    The model responds with the declared outputs.

Parameters

Inputs the model receives, and the outputs it is scored on.

Inputs

2 inputs

Always given

Included directly in every task prompt.

  • Fluid density

    fluid_density_kg_m3

    Fluid density

    500 – 1400 kg/m3
  • Elevation change

    elevation_change_m

    Elevation change, positive for pressure increase with lower elevation

    -200 – 200 m

Scored outputs

3 outputs

Elevation head

elevation_head_m

Elevation head

Scores if within ±3% of the reference value.

Pressure change

pressure_change_kpa

Static pressure change

Scores if within ±3% of the reference value.

Pressure change bar

pressure_change_bar

Static pressure change in bar

Scores if within ±3% of the reference value.

Difficulty

Each template is sampled at three tiers. Harder tiers may hide inputs, forcing the model to infer them from the scenario description.

All inputs remain visible at every tier

For this template, difficulty scales through parameter and scenario ranges rather than hidden information.

easy:
All parameters given for a sprinkler riser
medium:
All parameters given across hydraulic systems
hard:
All parameters given for larger transfer mains
