From a nursing perspective...
The gauge of the needle tells us the size of the lumen (inside) of the tube. Size 18 is big whilst size 30 is small. If we want a substance that we're injecting to have low pressure (ie if cleaning a wound with saline and not wanting it to hurt or disturb the healing and using a syringe to apply it) then we use a large size (ie 16).
Hope this helps
Gauge pressure is the pressure recorded on the gage that records above the atmospheric pressure. Normal atomospheric pressure is 14.7psi. So if a gage read 10 psi of gage pressure, then the true pressure would be 24.7 psi.Hope this is right.

How does air pressure affect air movement?
Air pressure affects air movement because air moves from high pressure to low pressure. The air pressure pushes or will press the air around.

What is ansi b40.1?
ANSI B40.1 has been replaced by ANSI/ASME B40.100-2005Pressure Gauges and Gauge AttachmentsThis Standard (B40.1) is confined to analog, dial-type gauges, which, utilizing elastic elements, mechanically sense pressure and indicate it by means of a pointer moving over a graduated scale. This Standard does not include gauges of special configuration designed for specific applications, edge reading, deadweight or piston gages, or any other gauges not using an elastic element to sense pressure
What is the difference between normal pressure gauge and differential pressure gauge?
A pressure gauge indicates actual pressure and a differential pressure gauge indicates the difference in pressure.
Definition of a compound gauge?
A compound gauge is a pressure gauge that displays both negative and positive gauge pressure measurements. Gauge pressure is a measurement of pressure relative to ambient pressure. For example, if ambient pressure was 14.7 PSI and you were to measure absolute vaccum using a compound gauge, the gauge would indicate -14.7 PSI.
How do you calculate gauge pressure in a system?
To calculate gauge pressure in a system, subtract the atmospheric pressure from the absolute pressure within the system. Gauge pressure Absolute pressure - Atmospheric pressure.
How to convert gauge pressure to absolute pressure?
To convert gauge pressure to absolute pressure, add the atmospheric pressure to the gauge pressure reading. This will give you the total pressure, including the pressure exerted by the atmosphere.
What is the difference between gauge pressure and absolute pressure, and how can one accurately gauge pressure in a system using these two measurements?
Gauge pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure includes atmospheric pressure as a reference point. To accurately gauge pressure in a system, one can use a gauge that measures gauge pressure and then add the atmospheric pressure to get the absolute pressure. This allows for a more precise measurement of the pressure within the system.
Does gauge pressure include atmospheric pressure?
Yes, gauge pressure includes atmospheric pressure. Gauge pressure is the pressure measured above atmospheric pressure, so it accounts for the atmospheric pressure as a reference point.
How to find gauge pressure in a closed container?
To find gauge pressure in a closed container, subtract the atmospheric pressure from the total pressure inside the container. Gauge pressure is the pressure above atmospheric pressure.
Can bourdon's tube pressure gauge be used to measure negative pressure?
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.
Is gauge pressure larger, smaller, or the same as absolute pressure?
Gauge pressure is smaller than absolute pressure.
What gauge measures both vacuum and pressure?
Gauge pressure usually refers to the pressure difference between ambient, atmospheric pressure and the pressure in a vessel or line. A gauge pressure of zero would mean that the vessel or line was at atmospheric pressure. Normally the pressures of interest are ABOVE atmospheric so the gauge pressure is positive. Vacuum gauge pressure measures how far BELOW atmospheric pressure a vessel or line is. As such vacuum gauge pressure may be measured as a negative number - or for convenience it may be reported as a positive number with the caveat that it is "vacuum gauge pressure", meaning that the reported pressure is how far atmospheric pressure is above the pressure in the vessel or line.
Why pressure gauge is called a gauge not a meter?
A pressure gauge is called a gauge because it typically measures pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, which is often considered as the reference point or zero point for pressure measurements. On the other hand, a meter usually measures absolute values without reference to a specific point.
Why diaphragm of a pressure gauge is corrugated?
These are corrugated to increase the sensitivity of the pressure gauge.
