Types of Pressure

Pressure is the first and most important industrial variable.
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


Measurement of 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


Air Pressure in Balloons are the Example of Gauge Pressure



Pressure above Atmosphere is called Gauge Pressure. It is the difference between an absolute pressure and atmospheric pressure.
Pgauge = Pabs - Patm

d) Deferential Pressure


The difference between two pressures, p1 and p2, is known as the pressure differential,
 Î”p = p1 - p2



e) Vacuum Pressure

Pressure Less then Atmospheric Pressure is called Vacuum Pressure.
Pvacuum = Patm - Pabs
