What is Pressure

• Pressure is force over an area• Work is force through a distance• Therefore, pressure is potential energy

lw

forceArea = l x w

Liquid Force Over An Area

Area = � r2

Force = Weight of liquid

Gas Pressure Over An Area

A gas (other than a blanket of air – atmosphere) exerts an equal force throughout its constraint (vessel).

Differential Pressure (1)

• All pressure measurement is differential– Gauge is measured as difference between measured and

atmospheric– Absolute is measured as difference between measured and

absolute (complete vacuum)

• In measurement when it is called differential, it means the difference between two pressures of which neither may be absolute or atmospheric.

• Differential simply means “difference between”

Specific Gravity

• Ratio of density of a process material to the density of water or air

• Specific gravity of water = 1• Specific gravity of air = 1• Example:

– Density Mercury = 848.6 lbs/ft3– Specific Gravity = 848.6 lbs/62.4 lbs = 13.6– Density (petroleum) = 54.8 lbs./cu. ft.– Specific Gravity = 54.8 lbs/62.4 lbs = 0.077
