Pressure is the amount of force applied per unit area. Pressure can be measured by a pressure gauge, but it is important to know the type of pressure the gauge is reading. This article will cover the ...

Setting up a pressure control process involves choosing between absolute pressure and gauge pressure. For a number of applications the choice could be to stick to an established convention, however ...

There are many ways to measure pressure, as well as different types of pressure. Here’s a look at some of the most common. Most engineers understand the concept of pressure. It’s a force, often ...

Air molecules colliding with a surface cause atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 101,000 Pa (101 kPa) but just 27,000 Pa (27 kPa) at the cruising altitude of a passenger ...

Understanding atmospheric pressure is vital, newsroom meteorologist Justin Ballard said, because those giant H’s and L’s representing high and low air pressure systems on a weather map are meaningless ...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - The weight of the air surrounding us is known as barometric or atmospheric pressure. Low and high barometric pressure can impact our bodies differently; factors such as ...

Keeping your car tires properly inflated is an easy maintenance chore that’s vital to your safety. Under-inflated tires build up excess heat as you drive, which can result in tire failure. With too ...
