0 psia is used as a reference point for pressure measurements because it represents the absence of pressure, equivalent to a perfect vacuum. By using 0 psia as a reference, pressure measurements are taken relative to this baseline to accurately determine pressure differentials in various systems and processes.
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.
You must add the atmospheric pressure.
To convert bar to psia (pounds per square inch absolute), you need to add the atmospheric pressure in psia to the pressure in bar. 1 bar is approximately equal to 14.5038 psia (standard atmospheric pressure at sea level).
Boyle's Law says that PV is constant for ideal gas at a constant temperature. The pressure used should be the absolute pressure, not the gage pressure. Ge the absolute pressure should be obtained using : P = PG + PE where PG = gage pressure ( kPag , psig, etc. ) PE = barometric pressure ( kPaa, psia, etc. ) P = absolute pressure ( kPaa , psia, etc. ) ( PG + PE ) ( V ) = Constant for constant temperature The g in kPag and in psig indicates gage pressure.
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
add atmosperic pressure to gage pressure to convert to psia one atm standard = 14.7 psi
70 psig
psig
(psi x 6.89476 = kPa). So, 70 psi x 6.89476 = 482.633 kPa

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.
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.
30 PSIG is about equal to 45 PSIA. Saturation temperature from the steam tables at 45 PSIA is about 274°F. So the steam would be 274°F, or hotter if superheated.
You must add the atmospheric pressure.
