Yes, but only in solids and liquids in special situations. Surface tension can allow liquids in very narrow channels to be placed in tension. This is believed to explain how some trees can pull sap hundreds of feet above the ground.

Is it possible to have a negative absolute pressure?

No. "Absolute" means non-negative.


Is it possible for absolute pressure to be negative?

No, absolute pressure cannot be negative as it is always measured as a positive value above zero.


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.


What is the maximum negative pressure can be reached in a system?

The maximum negative pressure in isolated system is negative ATM. ATM is the pressure created by air molecules and it is 1.01325*10^5 Pa. So a negative pressure of 1 ATM means absolute vacuum.


Can an absolute value equal a negative?

An absolute value can not be negative.


Is absolute pressure static pressure?

Yes, absolute pressure is the pressure measured with respect to a vacuum, while static pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid due to its motion or position. While they are related, they are not the same as static pressure does not take into account the atmospheric pressure.


Are there negative absolute numbers?

NO, absolute value is always non-negative.


What does a negative add a positive equal?

If the absolute value of the negative is bigger than that of the positive, then the answer is negative. If the absolute value of the negative is the same, then zero. If the absolute value of the negative is smaller, then positive. Absolute value is the value ignoring the sign.


What is the opposite of the absolute value of negative 30?

The opposite is: negative (the absolute value of negative 30).


Is the absolute value of a positive integer a negative integer?

Absolute values are never negative. The opposite, or negative, or additive inverse, of a negative number is the number's absolute value; a non-negative number is its own absolute value. The absolute values of 7 and -5, are, respectively, 7 and 5.


When is the sum of a positive and negative integer negative?

When the absolute value of the positive integer is smaller than the absolute value of the negative one.


What is the absolute pressure at 20 inches of mercury?

The absolute pressure at 20 inches of mercury is approximately 10.3 psi (pounds per square inch). This is calculated by adding the atmospheric pressure (14.7 psi) to the gauge pressure or vacuum pressure (negative in this case) represented by the 20 inches of mercury column.
