Pressure: Defined as the amount of force applied to a
surface or distributed over it and is measured as force per unit
area.
Units of Pressure (P = F/A)
The basic unit of pressure in SI units is the Pascal (Pa).
It is defined as force of 1 Newton (N) per square meter (m2). That is: 1 Pa = 1 N/m2.
High pressure
1 N/m2 = 1 Pa;
1 atm = 14.696 psi = 101.325 kPa
Low pressure
1 millibar = 100 dyne/cm2 = 14.5 * 10-3 psi
1 micron = 10-6 Hg = 19.34 * 10-6 psi
1 torr = 1 mm Hg = 19.34 * 10-3 psi

Different Types of Pressure
Absolute Pressure = Gauge Pressure + Atmospheric Pressure

•Vacuum or Differential Pressure:
Gauges that indicate gauge pressure may be designed to indicate pressures
below zero. Such a gauge is called a “vacuum gauge”. Hauges that
indicate absolute pressure cannot indicate pressures below zero as zero is a
perfect vacuum.
• Static Pressure and velocity Pressure:
When the fluid is in equilibrium, the pressure at a particular point is
identical in all directions and independent of the orientation. This is called
static pressure.
Velocity pressure is the difference between the total pressure and static
pressure.
VELOCITY PRESSURE = TOTAL PRESSURE – STATIC PRESSURE
