Absolute Pressure Calculator
To determine the sum of gauge and atmospheric pressure, you can use our absolute pressure calculator.
In physics, absolute pressure is the point of pressure that occurs in the fluid point, which is equivalent to the amount of both atmospheric and pressure gauge. Whereas the pressure, which is relative to the atmospheric pressure, indicates the gauge pressure. If the atmospheric pressure is below a gauge pressure, then it is positive pressure; Or if the gauge pressure is beneath the atmospheric pressure, it is harmful. The SI unit of the absolute pressure is psi.

Formula of Absolute Pressure Calculator
To determine the absolute pressure instantly, you can use our calculator, or to find it manually, you can use the formula listed below:
Pabs = Patm + Pgauge
Where,
Pabs= Absolute Pressure
Patm = Atmospheric Pressure
Pgauge= Gauge pressure
Example
For a more precise understanding of a concept and to know how to find absolute pressure, let us have an example below:
Suppose a reading of gauge pressure is 31 psi and the atmospheric pressure is 14.2 psi, then find out the absolute pressure.
Given data
Patm = 14.2 psi
Pgauge = 31 psi
To Find
Absolute pressure = ?
Solution
To find out the absolute pressure, we will use the formula listed below:
Pabs = Patm + Pgauge
Putting values in the formula:
Pabs = 14.2 psi + 31 psi = 45.2 psi
Note:
If you want to get water pressure, you can use our Water Pressure Calculator.
