Absolute pressure: The total pressure exerted on a system referenced to zero Pascals, and equal to the gauge pressure plus atmospheric pressure; 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. Atmospheric Pressure ...
