Growths on the surface of the eye can be unsightly and frightening. Most growths on the eye, which often occur as people age, pose no threat to health or vision and aren&rsquo;t cancers.
The unit of measure for static pressure is often inches of water (in. water). one inch of water is the suction needed to draw water up a straw one inch. pound per square inch static pressure (1 psi) is equal to 27.7 in. water static pressure. static pressure is given as Pascals (Pa).
Atmospheric and Gauge Pressure. 1  Absolute pressure: The total pressure exerted on a system referenced to zero Pascals, and equal to the gauge pressure plus atmospheric pressure. 2  Gauge Pressure: Pressure referenced to one atmosphere, and is the pressure actually shown on the dial of a gauge that registers pressure relative to atmospheric pressure. For example, an ordinary pressure gauge reading of zero does not mean there is no pressure, it means there is no pressure in excess of atmospheric pressure.
