add atmosperic pressure to gage pressure to convert to psia
one atm standard = 14.7 psi
psia to psig psig - 15 15 - 15= 0 psig
psia=psig+atmospheric pressure where, atmospheric pressure = 14.7psi therefore psig=psia-atmospheric pressure psig=100-14.7 psig=85.3psig
70 psig
psig
PSIG refers to pound/force per square inch gauge, while PSI measures the pressure relative to a vacuum. If you want to convert a figure from PSIG to PSI, you would need to add 14.7psi to your PSIG figure, which will give you your PSIA result.
To convert 150.0 psig (pounds per square inch gauge) to psia (pounds per square inch absolute), you need to add the atmospheric pressure, which is approximately 14.7 psi at sea level. Therefore, the absolute pressure is calculated as follows: 150.0 psig + 14.7 psi = 164.7 psia. Thus, 150.0 psig is equivalent to 164.7 psia.
PSIA is Pounds per Square Inch Absolute, as opposed to PSIG which is PSI Gauge. PSIA is absolute pressure. For example, normal atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 PSIA, so a PSIA device connected to atmosphere would read 14.7. PSIG is relative pressure, so if system pressure is 15.7 PSIA, and atmospheric pressure is 14.7 PSIA, then PSIG would be 1.0
PSIG, or pounds per square inch gauge, measures pressure relative to atmospheric pressure. To calculate PSIG, you start with the absolute pressure reading (in PSIA) and subtract the atmospheric pressure (usually around 14.7 psi at sea level). The formula is: PSIG = PSIA - Atmospheric Pressure. If you have a pressure gauge that directly measures PSIG, it provides the gauge pressure without the need for calculations.
psia IS the abbreviation. It stands for Pounds per Square Inch Absolute. When determining a pressure, you are typically measuring it with something that is subjected to atmospheric pressure (1atm~14psia) just like you and I. So say you inflate your tires to 35 psi and check it with a tire gauge. That reading is the GAUGE pressure, or psig. Typically, gauge pressures will not use the G at the end because people tend to be good enough at noticing that there's a difference between "psi" and "psia" and start to ask questions. The ABSOLUTE pressure is the gauge pressure plus the atmospheric pressure. Expressed in equation form, this looks like: psia = psig + atm -or- psig = psia - atm In the case of a vacuum, where there is less than atmospheric pressure, an absolute gauge will read positive values while a typical gauge will read negative values. The equation still holds true. Example: Absolute pressure = 4 psia 1 atm ~ 14 psia What is the gauge pressure? -10 psig 4 psia - 14 psia = -10 psig
The difference between Absolute Presure and Gauge Pressure is 14.7psi. So zero gauge pressure (0psig) = 14.7 psia. 600 psig = 614.7 psia. Calibrate the tranmitter so 4mA is obtained at 14.7 psig and 20mA is obtained at 614.7psig. The span will be 600 psi in both cases.
(psi x 6.89476 = kPa). So, 70 psi x 6.89476 = 482.633 kPa
0 mmHg is equivalent to 0 psia because both represent a pressure of zero relative to absolute vacuum. However, 760 mmHg is equal to 14.7 psia, not 0 psig. 760 mmHg is equivalent to atmospheric pressure, which is the reference point for psig.
