Gauge pressure usually refers to the pressure difference between ambient, atmospheric pressure and the pressure in a vessel or line. A gauge pressure of zero would mean that the vessel or line was at atmospheric pressure. Normally the pressures of interest are ABOVE atmospheric so the gauge pressure is positive. Vacuum gauge pressure measures how far BELOW atmospheric pressure a vessel or line is. As such vacuum gauge pressure may be measured as a negative number - or for convenience it may be reported as a positive number with the caveat that it is "vacuum gauge pressure", meaning that the reported pressure is how far atmospheric pressure is above the pressure in the vessel or line.

What is the difference between how air pressure is indicated in a mercury barometer and an aneroid barometer?
Usually no difference at all. They can both move a pointer around a circular scale. The scale can be calibrated in both Inches of Mercury (InHg) or Millbars (Mb). An aneroid system can lend itself more easily to a digital display.
Does the weather vane measure wind speed or air pressure?
An anemometer is used to measure
Why a vacuum cleaner works rather like a drinking straw?
both suck things up
What can pressure be when pushing down equals the pressure pushing up?
The pressure is balanced but not blank. There is still pressure on both side doing on to the wall.
Is 320 fluid ounces less than 18 pints?
Yes, if they are both UK measures and no if they are US measures!
How do you install oil pressure gauge on 00 civic?
If it is vacuum a gauge oil filter. You have to buy a 3/8 pipe t fitting to fit the block and install both the sensor and the gauge tube on. Key on power wire to light it up.
Definition of a compound gauge?
A compound gauge is a pressure gauge that displays both negative and positive gauge pressure measurements. Gauge pressure is a measurement of pressure relative to ambient pressure. For example, if ambient pressure was 14.7 PSI and you were to measure absolute vaccum using a compound gauge, the gauge would indicate -14.7 PSI.
What is the definition of psia and psig in pressure unit?
Both units are based on the imperial Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). The suffix A refers to Absolute pressure, while G refers to Gauge pressure. Gauge pressure is defined as the difference between the measured pressure and atmospheric pressure. Most pressure measuring devices (gauges) measure the gauge pressure, as one side of the gauge is exposed to atmospheric pressure.
How is a vacuum cleaner like a real tornado?
Both a vacuum cleaner and a tornado generate low pressure that pulls air inward.
What is a pressure transducer?
Transducer (i.e. a device for converting energy from one form to another) for both vacuum and positive pressure.
What is a compound pressure transducer?
Transducer (i.e. a device for converting energy from one form to another) for both vacuum and positive pressure.
Where is the low pressure AC port on a 2003 F-150?
I'm Not exactly sure which one it is exactly but the best way to find out is to take a vacuum gauge and test both of them the one that is sucking in is the one you would use to recharge your ac system.
How are vacuums and tornado alike?
Both a tornado and a vacuum generate low pressure that draws air inward.
What is the same about barometer and anemometer?
Both are meteorological instruments used in the study of weather. The first measures atmospheric pressure while the second measures wind speed.
What are examples of geographical instruments?
Seisometer: Measures the movement of the earth using ground motion detection sensor. E.g Earthquakes which are measured on the Richter Scale. Barometer: Measures atmospheric pressure Tiltmeter: Measures changes in a slope of a landscape. Mostly used to measure buldges on volcanoes. Wind Vanes: Measures wind direction and are mounted at the height of the wind you are measuring. Pyrometer and Thermometer: They both measure heat but Pyrometer are usually used to measure extremely hot objects. Rain/Precipitation Gauge: Used to measure rain/precipitation Hygrometer: Measures amount of humidity in the atmosphere Anenometer: measures wind speed and wind pressure
Blown intake manifold gasket?
gasket connecting 2 or more solid materials to form a vacuum and pressure seal. the term "blown" indicates a failure in either or both the vacuum (air intake)or pressure (coolant passages)
How does sphygmonamometer work?
A sphygmomanometer is a device which measures blood pressure. It works by reading both the systolic, which is the peak pressure as the heart contracts, and diastolic, which is the lowest pressure as the heart relaxes.
