What water density is used to convert pressure (in psi) to depth for the SCAMP calibrations?

The conversion factor that I use is Depth = 0.7030696 * pressure (PSI) This factor is actually located within the ParoScientific pressure transducer ROM. When calibrating a SCAMP I simply read depth (meters) from the Paros. The Paros applies the above conversion from measured pressure to depth. Essentially the Paros is telling me depth in fresh water.
