Pressure means pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, i.e. gauge pressure. As a consequence, vacuum is designated by a negative value;
Pressure means an expression of pounds per square inch above atmospheric pressure, i.e., gauge pressure (abbreviated “psig”)
Pressure means negative pressure if the compression of the springs is obtained by means of a vacuum device.
Pressure means relative internal pressure in pounds per square inch gauge (psig).
Pressure means the difference in effective electrical potential measured in volts normally existing between conductors and between conductors and the earth;
Pressure means the gauge pressure, expressed in bar, which is the difference between the absolute pressure of the gas and the atmospheric pressure.
Pressure means the total force per unit area acting on a surface.
