44.7 psi
Psig (pound-force per square inch gauge) is a unit of pressure relative to atmospheric pressure at sea level. By contrast, psia measures pressure relative to a vacuum (such as that in space). Most pressure gauges, such as tire gauges, are calibrated to read zero at sea level, because most applications require the difference of pressure. At sea level, Earth's atmosphere actually exerts a pressure of 14.695948804 psi. If a pressure gauge is calibrated to read zero in space, then at sea level on Earth it would read 14.695948804 psi. Thus a reading of 30 psig on a tire gauge, represents an absolute pressure of 44.695948804 psi.

1 psig is equivalent to 51.71 mm (2 in) of mercury or to approx 700 mm (27.5 in) of water. Technically one cannot have apsig. Psig represents a pressure reading of the pressure above normal atmospheric pressure of 14.7 psi. You mean a psi.

The Scientific method involves several sequential steps which allow a standard way of getting to te answer of a question. These, with a simple example, are:Identify a problem that you wish to investigate as clearly as you can: You want to make sure your car is safe to driveBased on your impressions identify what you think the answer might be (theory): You think your tire pressure is too low.Determine what the outcome might be if you are right in this thinking: If you measure the pressure with a gauge it will be less than 28 psigDo experiments or collect data to see if they confirm the expected results: The gauge says the pressure is 14 psigCompare your results (real) to the predicted outcome: It is too low!Make changes or modify your theory (start over again at step 2): Put some air into the tire with a pumpWhen your expected results and observed results are the same then your theory is probably correct (or almost so): After several cycles of check and pump the pressure is 28.1 psig, that is fine!At this point most scientists let their results be known for other scientists to check out and attempt to duplicate the findings, This is called peer review.: You ask a friend to check the reading with his tire guage
-14.7psig is the gauge pressure of an absolute vacuum.
To convert 150.0 psig (pounds per square inch gauge) to psia (pounds per square inch absolute), you need to add the atmospheric pressure, which is approximately 14.7 psi at sea level. Therefore, the absolute pressure is calculated as follows: 150.0 psig + 14.7 psi = 164.7 psia. Thus, 150.0 psig is equivalent to 164.7 psia.
psia IS the abbreviation. It stands for Pounds per Square Inch Absolute. When determining a pressure, you are typically measuring it with something that is subjected to atmospheric pressure (1atm~14psia) just like you and I. So say you inflate your tires to 35 psi and check it with a tire gauge. That reading is the GAUGE pressure, or psig. Typically, gauge pressures will not use the G at the end because people tend to be good enough at noticing that there's a difference between "psi" and "psia" and start to ask questions. The ABSOLUTE pressure is the gauge pressure plus the atmospheric pressure. Expressed in equation form, this looks like: psia = psig + atm -or- psig = psia - atm In the case of a vacuum, where there is less than atmospheric pressure, an absolute gauge will read positive values while a typical gauge will read negative values. The equation still holds true. Example: Absolute pressure = 4 psia 1 atm ~ 14 psia What is the gauge pressure? -10 psig 4 psia - 14 psia = -10 psig
PSIG refers to pound/force per square inch gauge, while PSI measures the pressure relative to a vacuum. If you want to convert a figure from PSIG to PSI, you would need to add 14.7psi to your PSIG figure, which will give you your PSIA result.
55 psig +15=70
The only gauge that measures pressure above 0 psig is called a pressure gauge or more specifically, a gauge pressure gauge. This type of gauge measures pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, indicating values greater than atmospheric pressure (0 psig). It is commonly used in various applications, such as in industrial processes and HVAC systems.
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.
In standard English: "What does psig mean?" The abbreviation stands for pounds per square inch gauge. PSI is a standard unit of pressure, which may be converted to/from Pascals. "Gauge" here means relative to surrounding atmospheric pressure. So a reading of 100 psig means a pressure of 100 psi *above* the atmospheric pressure, which is around around 14.7 psi at sea level, making 114.7 psi absolute pressure.

Thus a reading of 30 psig on a tire gauge, represents an absolute pressure of 44.695948804 psi.
0 mmHg is equivalent to 0 psia because both represent a pressure of zero relative to absolute vacuum. However, 760 mmHg is equal to 14.7 psia, not 0 psig. 760 mmHg is equivalent to atmospheric pressure, which is the reference point for psig.
It means pounds per square inch gauge and Is used to measure pressure
PSIA is Pounds per Square Inch Absolute, as opposed to PSIG which is PSI Gauge. PSIA is absolute pressure. For example, normal atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 PSIA, so a PSIA device connected to atmosphere would read 14.7. PSIG is relative pressure, so if system pressure is 15.7 PSIA, and atmospheric pressure is 14.7 PSIA, then PSIG would be 1.0
