I ran your question passed my trusty computer based widget and the answer it gave was just above 150 mm of Hg
No, the absolute pressure in a liquid of constant density would not double in this situation. This is because the atmospheric pressure is an independent variable, so it will keep the absolute pressure from doubling.
absolute pressure is calculated from a vacuum (0 psi) and atmospheric pressure is14.7psia or 14.7 psi above a vacuum 1psi on a tire pressure gauge is called 1psig = 15.7psia 10psig=24.7psia 100psig=114.7psia etc.
Both units are based on the imperial Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). The suffix A refers to Absolute pressure, while G refers to Gauge pressure. Gauge pressure is defined as the difference between the measured pressure and atmospheric pressure. Most pressure measuring devices (gauges) measure the gauge pressure, as one side of the gauge is exposed to atmospheric pressure.
Because Pressure gauge measures the the differenceof pressure so it is called pressure gauge not meter.
Atmospheric pressure is the surrounding pressure around us. We live in the atmosphere and treat the atmospheric pressure as the base pressure. A pressure gauge would read 0 at atmospheric pressure. When we define the pressure in scientific way of absolute pressure, we need to add up an atmospheric pressure to the measured pressure.
gauge
Gauge pressure is what you get when you take the reading from your tire pressure gauge. Absolute pressure is the pressure inside your tires plus the atmospheric pressure, which is roughly; 14.7 psi, 101.3 kPa (kilo-Pascals), or one atmosphere. Absolute pressure measures all of the pressure on your tires, inside and out, whereas gauge simply measures the pressure inside the tire.
i need to explain what an absolute pressure gauge measures
Absolute Pressure
absolute pressure; gauge pressure; atmospheric pressure...
if the gauge pressure is 206 kPa, absolute pressure is 307 kPa
If a gas has a gage pressure of 156 kPa its absolute pressure is approximately?
44.7 psi
The gauge pressure would be 448.955kPa.
Absolute
Bourdon's tube pressure gauge cannot be used to measure negative pressure. This is because absolute pressure must be measured and the Bourdon gauge only indicates the gauge pressure.
-14.7psig is the gauge pressure of an absolute vacuum.
