Pressure measurement because atmospheric pressure is always changing and the reference in this case is fixed at 1 bar. To produce an absolute pressure sensor, the manufacturer seals a high vacuum behind the sensing diaphragm. If the process-pressure connection of an absolute-pressure transmitter is open to the air, it will read the actual barometric pressure. The SI unit for pressure is the pascal (Pa), equal to one newton per square metre (N·m or kg·m·s). This special name for the unit was added in 1971; before that, pressure in SI was expressed in units such as N·m. When indicated, the zero reference is
Comparison of Pascal and C create invalid references. In its original form (as described by Niklaus Wirth), Pascal qualifies as a managed pointer language, some 30 years before either Java or C#. However, a Pascal amalgamated with C would lose that protection by definition. In general, the lower dependence on pointers for basic tasks makes it safer than C in practice. The Extended Pascal standard extends Pascal to support many things C supports, which the original standard Pascal did not, in a type safer manner. For example, schema types support (besides other uses) variable-length arrays while keeping the type-safety of mandatory carrying the array dimension
