SynonymPressure (gauge)
Gauge pressure

Pressure measured by Pressure gauge.

Usually all pressure gauges are calibrated to show "0" value at 1 bar so that:


Pressure (gauge) = 
Pressure (absolute) - 1 bar

and 

Pressure (absolute) = Pressure (gauge) - 1 bar


The differenential value of gauge pressure is the same as the absolute pressure:

  ΔP (gauge) = ΔP (absolute)


In order to discriminate gauge pressure values from the absolute pressure, the gauge pressure units are usually augmented with suffix "g":
