Absolute Pressure Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Absolute Pressure (Pa) is:

\[ Pa = Pg + Pat \]

Where:

\( Pa \) is the Absolute Pressure
\( Pg \) is the Gauge Pressure
\( Pat \) is the Atmospheric Pressure

What is Absolute Pressure?

Absolute pressure is defined as the sum of the atmospheric pressure and gauge pressure. It is a measure of pressure relative to the absolute zero pressure in the vacuum of space.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Gauge Pressure (Pg): 50,000 Pa
Atmospheric Pressure (Pat): 101,325 Pa

Using the formula to calculate the Absolute Pressure:

\[ Pa = 50000 + 101325 = 151325 \text{ Pa} \]

This means that the absolute pressure for this scenario is 151,325 Pa.
