How many pounds per square inch gauge is a column of air at sea level under standard conditions?
The average "weight" of air is about 14 2/3 pounds per square inch. If you had some square "straw", one inch in a side, that reached upwards from sea level to the edge of space, and sat it on a scale (adjust for the weight of the straw!), the column of air - about 90 miles high - would weigh 14 2/3 pounds.

What is a standard cubic foot of gas?
Because gases follow the principles of Boyle's Law, their volumes are directly proportional to their temperature, and inversely proportional to the pressure they are subjected to. Simply, a given mass of gas, if subjected to a higher pressure, will have a lower volume than before; if warmed to a higher temperature it will have a higher volume than before.Because this property makes it difficult to express how much gas you are actually talking about, scientists standardize the conditions of pressure and temperature when describing an amount of gas, so that those conditions are fixed when doing calculations on an amount. A "standard cubic foot" of gas refers to a volume of 12" x 12" x 12" of the gas (1728 cubic inches) at standard temperature of 0o C and standard pressure of 1 atmosphere or about 14.7 pounds per square inch.
Pressure exerted by the air around us is called?
14.69 pounds per square inch (psi). 2,115.36 pounds per square foot. 19,038.24 pounds per square yard. 58,972,852,224 pounds per square mile. If you want to calculate the complete gravitational force of Earth, find the area (in square miles) and multiply it by 58,972,852,224. That will give you, in pounds, the complete gravitational force of Earth.
What is the scientific notation for pounds of pressure per square inch?
It depends on how deep you go, but can be up to 18,000 psi but you need to be at lest 10km down for that.
What is 200 psi?
200 psi is a measurement of pressure. Pounds per square inch is what it stands for. Picture a square in then picture 200 pounds pushing on that (and every other) square inch. 200 psi is fairly high pressure. As an example, a car tire is ususally 32 psi.
Convert 200lbs to psi?
The lb (Pound) is a unit of mass (sometimes called weight) and the psi (pounds per square inch) is a unit of pressure. I take it that you need to calculate the pressure of a number of pounds on a certain surface. You may find the suggested web site helpful. You can't convert pounds to pounds per square inch (psi). One is force and one is pressure. If you know the area over which the force is spread, then you can divide the force by the area and get pounds per square inch (psi).
PSIA at sea level under standard conditions is?
14.7 pounds per square inch absolute (psia) at sea level under standard conditions.
Psia at sea level under standard condiions is?
Psia at sea level under standard conditions is equal to 14.7 pounds per square inch absolute. This value represents the atmospheric pressure exerted at sea level under standard conditions of temperature and pressure.
What is 10 inches of water column converted to psi?
10" Water Column equals about .4 Pounds per Square Inch or 0.36127291827412783psi exactly.
How many pounds does air weigh?
Air is a mixture of gases, with the most abundant component being nitrogen. The weight of air can vary, but at sea level and typical atmospheric conditions, air exerts a pressure of about 14.7 pounds per square inch. This means that a column of air with a base of 1 square inch and extending up to the edge of the atmosphere weighs about 14.7 pounds.
How much does a column of your atmosphere weigh?
If you're weighing it at sea level, then it weighs roughly 14.6 pounds for every square inch of area that the bottom of the column rests on.
How many pounds of propane in a standard cubic foot?
45 per square banana
What is the absolute pressure at sea level under standard conditions in psi?
Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 pounds per square inch.Psia(pounds per square inch absolute) is also 14.7 pounds per square inch.However psia starts with zero pounds per square inch at 29.92 in Hg which is a vacuum measurement (absolute vacuum) in inches of mercury or in Hg.14.7 psi atmospheric pressure is as high as atmosphere pressure will ever reach. all measurements below that is a vacuum. That is where psia come in. It can start measurements in a vacuum and continue with the same unit of measurement after it comes out of the vacuum at 14.7 psi.
A column of water 2.31 feet high exerts a pressure of one pound per square inch How much pressure does a column of water 46.20 feet high exert?
20 pounds per sq/in
What is the standard unit of measurement used to quantify water pressure?
The standard unit of measurement used to quantify water pressure is pounds per square inch (psi).
What is the water pressure at 1000 feet in pounds?
The water pressure at 1000 feet is approximately 433 pounds per square inch (psi). This is because for every 2.31 feet of depth in water, the pressure increases by 1 psi due to the weight of the water column above.
What does the weight of air cause?
On earth it is responsible for air pressure. There are about 15 pounds of air above every square inch of the earth's surface. Or in other words, the volume of a column of air on Earth about a hundred miles high and a square inch in area weighs 15 pounds.
Which famous column stands in the center of Trafalgar Square?
Nelson's Column.
