Gauge pressure is what you get when you take the reading from your tire pressure gauge. Absolute pressure is the pressure inside your tires plus the atmospheric pressure, which is roughly; 14.7 psi, 101.3 kPa (kilo-Pascals), or one atmosphere. Absolute pressure measures all of the pressure on your tires, inside and out, whereas gauge simply measures the pressure inside the tire.
Absolute pressure is calculated by adding atmospheric pressure to the gauge pressure. Standard atmospheric pressure is approximately 1.01325 bar, so for a gauge pressure of -0.2 bar, the absolute pressure would be 1.01325 bar - 0.2 bar, which equals approximately 0.81325 bar. Therefore, the absolute pressure is about 0.813 bar.
-14.7psig is the gauge pressure of an absolute vacuum.
No. We need to know exactly what is meant by gage here. A piston tyre gauge measures pressures relative to atmospheric. A mercury barometer measures absolute pressure. A gauge that involves uncoiling of a coiled tube will measure absolute pressure (it will have to be calibrated). But a manometer which is open to the atmosphere on one arm will measure pressures relative to atmospheric pressure so the real pressure is the two added together.
To determine if 29.4 psig is equal to 44.1 psia, we need to understand the difference between gauge pressure (psig) and absolute pressure (psia). Gauge pressure measures pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure measures total pressure including atmospheric pressure. Since standard atmospheric pressure is approximately 14.7 psi, adding this to the gauge pressure gives us: 29.4 psig + 14.7 psi = 44.1 psia. Therefore, 29.4 psig is indeed equal to 44.1 psia.
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.
Gauge pressure is smaller than absolute pressure.
To calculate gauge pressure in a system, subtract the atmospheric pressure from the absolute pressure within the system. Gauge pressure Absolute pressure - Atmospheric pressure.
To convert gauge pressure to absolute pressure, add the atmospheric pressure to the gauge pressure reading. This will give you the total pressure, including the pressure exerted by the atmosphere.

No, gauge pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure is the total pressure including atmospheric pressure.
To calculate the gauge pressure of a system, subtract the atmospheric pressure from the absolute pressure of the system. Gauge pressure Absolute pressure - Atmospheric pressure.
Blood pressure is not an absolute measurement, but rather it is measured using a gauge.
Absolute pressure is measured relative to a perfect vacuum, while gauge pressure is measured relative to atmospheric pressure.
Gauge pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure is the pressure measured relative to a perfect vacuum.
Gauge pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure includes atmospheric pressure as a reference point. To accurately gauge pressure in a system, one can use a gauge that measures gauge pressure and then add the atmospheric pressure to get the absolute pressure. This allows for a more precise measurement of the pressure within the system.
Absolute pressure is the total pressure exerted by a fluid, including atmospheric pressure. Gauge pressure is the pressure measured above atmospheric pressure.
Absolute pressure measurements include atmospheric pressure as a reference point, while gauge pressure measurements do not account for atmospheric pressure.
