The standard atmosphere is a unit of pressure and is defined as being equal to 101.325 kPa. Pressure is the force F per unit area A applied to an object in a direction perpendicular to the surface. p = F / A.

Is mm Hg and milileters a unit of air pressure?

Yes, mm Hg (millimeters of mercury) is a unit of air pressure commonly used in barometric pressure measurements. Milliliters (mL), on the other hand, is a unit of volume and is not used to measure air pressure.


What is the air pressure?

air pressure is the firce exerted by moving air moleculesAir pressure is the air around you. Air pressure can pushing every where so the air from the top only dosent squish you into a pancake. Pressure is defined as force per unit area. The standard unit for pressure is the Pascal, which is a Newton per square meter.


Which is the standard unit of air pressure?

Do you pressurize the bladder in a G E homespring water filtration system with or without water pressure in the unit?

Mine came new with air pressure in the bladder & no water in the unit so I would assume that you would pressurize the bladder with no water in the unit . Hope this helps .

What is the force of air weighing down over a unit of area?

The force of air weighing down over a unit of area is called atmospheric pressure. This pressure is exerted by the weight of the air above that unit of area, and it decreases with increasing altitude.


What unit used to measured air pressure?

(any unit of force) divided by (any unit of area)


What is a pound of air?

A pound of air is NOT a measure of pressure. A unit of pressure would be a weight ( a force really) for instance pound by a surface (square inch for instance). Pound is a unit of weight only. At sea level on earth barometric pressure, 1 cubic metre weighs 1.2kg (or 2.64 pound). Which means 1 pound of air represents a volume of 0.379 cubic metre of air. This obviously varies with atmospheric pressure (the air pressure) and the gravitional pull. a pound of air would represent a much bigger (6 times bigger roughly) volume on the moon for instance.

What unit of measurement would you use to measure the air pressure?

The international standard unit for measuring pressure is the pascal. 1 pascal = 1 newton / square meter. A unit commonly used is the bar; 1 bar = 100,000 pascal; and that's the approximate air pressure at sea level. Older units that are still sometimes used include mmHg (millimeter mercury).
