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.

-14.7psig is the gauge pressure of an absolute vacuum.
Maybe and maybe not. PSIA makes it explicit that the measurement given is an "absolute" value; that is, its zero point is a complete vacuum. PSI may be absolute, or it may be given relative to ambient atmospheric pressure.
Btu / scf = Btu / lb X MW / 379.5 where: MW = molecular weight of the gas, lb / lb-mol The constant 379.5 is the molar volume at standard conditions of 14.696 psia and 60°F
