Measurement of Pressure

  1. Atmospheric PressureBarometer
  2. Force per unit area is called pressure                              
    Units: Pa(= N/m2), psi(=lbf/in2), bar (=105 Pa=100 kPa), mbar (=100 Pa=1 hPa),
    atm (=101.3 kPa), mmHg (or Torr), inHg, etc.
    Note: For every Unit: hUnit=hectoUnit=100 Unit
    Pabs = Patm + Pgage
      Where Pabs : Absolute pressure
                   Patm : Atmospheric pressure
              (standard is: 101.3 kPa =14.696 psi=760 mmHg=29.92 inHg)
                   Pgage : Gage pressure
