this question relative basic information for site engineer in building services .
It depends on the pipe diameter and lesser on the pipe material (negligible).
without going into calculations, as a on-forward answer every 10 meters of pipe vertical elevation need 1 bar (14.7 psi) of water pressure to elevate.
the pressure drop is
this equation is derived from the original Bernoulli formula
Delta P: pressure drop
L & D: Length of Diameter of pipe
Rho: density of fluid ( for water = 1000 kg/m^3)
W: fluid velocity ( best between 1.2 m/s and 2.4 m/s to avoid water hammering and to keep it laminar flow)
Presure=weight/area pressure loss through piping for water. Pressure loss due to viscous effect Is proportional to lenght
