experiences due to the force exerted by the atmosphere.

Equations

Pgage = Pabs − Patm gage pressure

Pvac = Patm − Pabs vacuum pressure

Pabs = Patm + Pgage absolute pressure

Nomenclature

Pabs:absolute pressure

Pgage:gage pressure

Pvac:vacuum pressure

Patm:atmospheric pressure

Haruhit Kunwar, there is always a pressure on me known as atm pressure!

Answered Apr 25, 2017

Absolute Pressure - It is the zero referenced against a perfect vacuum.

Atmospheric Pressure - It is the pressure exerted by the weight of the

atmosphere. Basically it is the ambiant pressure i.e the pressure around you.

Gauge Pressure - It is the zero reference against the ambient pressure.

Vacuum Pressure - It is the pressure below atmospheric pressure.

So the releation between gauge pressure, absolute pressure, atmospheric

pressure and vacuum pressure is :-

P(abs) = P(gauge) + P(atm)

P(vac) = P(atm) - P(abs)

Or

P(vac) = -P(gauge)
