When polypropylene hot-water pipes are die drawn, they gain spectacular increases in hydrostatic pressure resistance and impact strength. Changes in barometric pressure register in shallow water as changes in hydrostatic pressure. The energy released by the collapsing bubbles increases dramatically with an increase in hydrostatic pressure to a certain point (typically about twice normal atmospheric pressure), and then the energy begins to fall off dramatically, a property known as the "anomalous depth effect. |
