What is Pressure?

Pressure is defined as the physical force exerted on an object. The force applied is perpendicular to the surface of objects per unit area.

Pressure Formula

Where P is pressure and F is the normal force applied on objects

Pressure Unit

SI unit for pressure is the pascal (Pa)

What is gauge pressure.

The pressure of a system above the atmospheric pressure is called gauge pressure.

Gauge pressure can  calculated if the absolute and atmospheric pressures are known by using the

Formula: Pgauge = Pabs - Patm

Gauge pressure Example


What is absolute pressure

Absolute pressure is a pressure that is relative to the zero pressure in the empty, air-free space of the universe. This reference pressure is the ideal or absolute vacuum.


Difference between gauge Pressure and absolute Pressure

The pressure of a system above the atmospheric pressure is called gauge pressure where as
Absolute pressure is a pressure that is relative to the zero pressure in the empty, air-free space of the universe. This reference pressure is the ideal or absolute vacuum.

What is differential Pressure

Differential-pressure (DP) transmitters measure the difference between two pressures and can be used for measure pressure or level.
