Absolute Pressure
Absolute Pressure is the sum of the available atmospheric pressure and the gage pressure in the pumping system
For example,
|
Absolute Pressure(PSIA) = Gauge Pressure + Atmospheric Pressure |
|
|
|
Absolute Pressure = 150 PSIG (Gauge Pressure) + 14.7 PSI(Atmospheric Pressure) = 164.7 PSIA |
