Again and again, we are asked the question about the difference between an absolute pressure measurement and a gauge pressure measurement. To answer this question it helps to look at the definition of gauge pressure and absolute pressure. The difference between the two …
Within the selection criteria for pressure gauges, type of pressure takes top priority. The measurement of gauge pressure, in fact, reliably fulfils the purpose with the majority of processes. However, for numerous applications in industry, pressure gauges for absolute …
The common units for the measurement parameter pressure are bar, psi, kg/cm², inHg and MPa, for example. In most cases, one unit has become established in a particular country or region. As a result, it often happens that one must convert a given pressure value into …
In previous articles about the fields of application of different pressure sensors, I have described the special features of the different versions. Pressure range and ambient conditions are decisive when selecting a suitable sensor for a problem to be solved. In …
You must have already asked yourself once in a while why there are so many different pressure units worldwide: when are they used and which units are used most frequently and where? These questions can be answered quite easily: the SI unit for the physical quantity …
