absolute pressure


generally taken as gauge pressure + atmospheric pressure, but more precisely the total pressure measured relative to absolute zero pressure (the pressure that would occur in a pure vacuum). Measured in lb/in2 (psi x0.689475729 = N/cm2).

absolute pressure


The pressure of a fluid measured above a perfect vacuum (which has zero absolute pressure).  If the pressure of the atmosphere is 101 kPa absolute, this is 101 kPa above absolute zero.  The pressure indicated on a pressure gauge can be converted to absolute pressure by adding atmospheric pressure to the gauge reading.
