Here are some types of pressure.
a) Atmosphere Pressure
b) Absolute Pressure
c) Gauge Pressure
d) Deferential Pressure
e) Vacuum Pressure

a) Atmosphere Pressure
The air around us has weight and this surrounding air on earth exerts a pressure known as the atmospheric pressure. It also known as barometric pressure. and it is measured using a mercury barometer.
Symbol
= atm
atm pressure Ranges in different Units ;
1 atm = 14.7 psi
1 atm = 101.325 kilo pascals
1 atm = 760.00 mmHg
b) Absolute Pressure
Absolute Pressure |
The sum of gauge pressure and atmosphere pressure is called absolute pressure.
Absolute Pressure = Atmosphere
Pressure + Gauge Pressure
Mostly Manometer are used for the measurement of Absolute Pressure
c) Gauge Pressure
Pressure above Atmosphere
is called Gauge Pressure. It is the difference between an absolute pressure and atmospheric pressure.
The difference between two pressures, p1 and p2, is known as the pressure differential,
Δp = p1 - p2
e) Vacuum Pressure
Pressure
Less then Atmospheric Pressure is called Vacuum Pressure.
Pvacuum
= Patm - Pabs
