Anyway preasure;
1000ft = 304.8m
preasure at 304.8m = 30.48 bar + 1bar for atmospheric preasure.
so preasure would be 31.48 bar or 456.47 Psi (if you like it in old numbers)


But pressure differential would still be 30.48 bar in medium old numbers, or around 3MPa (megapascals) in new numbers (our weathermen report air pressure in hPa - hectopascals - secret aliases for millibars).
(1 bar ~ 1 kg * 9.8 m/s**2 / cm**2 = 9.8 N/cm**2; 1 Pa = 1 N/m**2 ~ 10/1000**2 = 1e-5 bar)

As everibody has guessed by now, I am procrastinating. I have a report to write for tomorrow. Ah, well...

Cheers!
