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).
Gauge pressure is zero-referenced against ambient air pressure, so it is equal to absolute pressure minus atmospheric pressure. Absolute pressure is measured with reference to an absolute (and theoretical) vacuum. For example, an ordinary pressure gauge reading of zero does not mean there is no pressure; it simply means there is no pressure in excess of atmospheric pressure. Gauge Pressure = Total Pressure â 1 atm. The conversion factor that needs to be used in order to convert between gauge pressure and absolute pressure is atmospheric pressure. By adding a pressure of 1 atmosphere to an absolute pressure, the corresponding gauge pressure can be determined. Gauge pressure is measured with the standard atmospheric pressure as the baseline. Therefore, positive gauge pressures indicate that the pressure is above atmospheric pressure. Conversely, negative pressures indicate that the pressure is below atmospheric pressure.
