Understanding Absolute Pressure Calculator:

What is Absolute Pressure?

Absolute pressure is the total pressure exerted by a fluid, including atmospheric pressure. It is crucial in various fields like physics, engineering, and meteorology. Our Absolute Pressure Calculator helps you determine this fundamental measurement.


What is the formula to calculate Absolute Pressure?

Our calculator employs the following formula:

AbsolutePressure = AtmosphericPressure + GaugePressure

Here's a breakdown of the components:
  • Atmospheric Pressure: The pressure exerted by the atmosphere at a given location.
  • Gauge Pressure: The pressure measured above atmospheric pressure.
Solved Illustrated Examples:
Example:1
  • Atmospheric Pressure: 101.3 kPa
  • Gauge Pressure: 30 kPa
  • AbsolutePressure=101.3 + 30 = 131.3kPa

Example:2
  • Atmospheric Pressure: 14.7 psi
  • Gauge Pressure: 5 psi
  • AbsolutePressure=14.7 + 5 = 19.7psi

Example:3
  • Atmospheric Pressure: 101325 Pa
  • Gauge Pressure: 5000 Pa
  • AbsolutePressure=101325 + 5000 = 106325 Pa
