Best Answer

In standard English: "What does psig mean?"

The abbreviation stands for pounds per square inch gauge.

PSI is a standard unit of pressure, which may be converted to/from Pascals.

"Gauge" here means relative to surrounding atmospheric pressure.

So a reading of 100 psig means a pressure of 100 psi *above* the atmospheric pressure, which is around around 14.7 psi at sea level, making 114.7 psi absolute pressure.

How do you convert psig tp psia?

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.

If a 30ft3 volume of air at 10 psig is compressed to 25 ft3 at a constant temperature what would be the new pressure in psig?

Using the ideal gas law equation P1V1 = P2V2, with initial pressure (P1) = 10 psig, initial volume (V1) = 30 ft^3, final volume (V2) = 25 ft^3, we can solve for the final pressure (P2). (10 psig * 30 ft^3) / 25 ft^3 = 12 psig, so the new pressure would be 12 psig.
