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.
Absolute pressure measurements include atmospheric pressure as a reference point, while gauge pressure measurements do not account for atmospheric pressure.
Gage pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure is the total pressure including atmospheric pressure. Gage pressure only considers the pressure above atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure includes atmospheric pressure as well. This affects pressure measurements in a system because gage pressure readings will fluctuate with changes in atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure readings will remain constant regardless of atmospheric pressure changes.
Gage pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure is the total pressure including atmospheric pressure.
Gauge pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure is the pressure measured relative to a perfect vacuum.
Absolute pressure is measured relative to a perfect vacuum, while gauge pressure is measured relative to atmospheric pressure.
Absolute pressure measurements include atmospheric pressure as a reference point, while gauge pressure measurements do not account for atmospheric pressure.

Absolute pressure is measured relative to a perfect vacuum, while gauge pressure is measured relative to atmospheric pressure.
Absolute pressure is the total pressure exerted by a fluid, including atmospheric pressure. Gauge pressure is the pressure measured above atmospheric pressure.
The difference in pressure between absolute and gauge pressure.
Absolute pressure is the total pressure exerted by a fluid, including atmospheric pressure. Gauge pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure. They are related by the equation: Absolute pressure Gauge pressure Atmospheric 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
Calculating absolute pressure with a U-tube manometer requires filling it with a non-volatile fluid and sealing one end. The non-sealed end is exposed to whatever fluid you wish to measure the pressure of. The difference in the height of the manometer fluid between the open arm and the sealed arm is an indication of absolute pressure. At zero absolute pressure the fluid should be at the same height in both arms with vacuum above the fluid in the sealed arm. From a practical standpoint, there are no fluids that have zero vapor pressure, but fluids are available with vapor pressures low enough to be negligible compared to the limitations of the ability of the person reading the measurements to read the height of the fluid. As an example, under most operating conditions mercury has a negligible vapor pressure. If you start getting up to high temperatures, however, all bets are off.
A kilopascal is a thousand pascal - a unit of pressure. "Absolute" means the actual pressure - this is in contrast to measuring a pressure DIFFERENCE (usually, how much higher some pressure is, compared to atmospheric pressure).
