Pressure Calculator

This page provides insight into determining pressure and some functions to help you calculate it!

Calculation

Pressure

Inputs



F
:100.00N​



A
:150.00m2​


Here are the variables for the equation

  1. A = the area of the object
  2. F = the force
  1. P = the pressure

Output



P
:0.67​


P=FAP=\frac{F}{A}

Gauge Pressure

Inputs



P (system)
:160.00atm​



P (atmosphere)
:1.00atm​


Output



P (gauge)
:159.00​


Pg=Ps−PatmP_{g}=P_{s}-P_{atm}

Explanation

Pressure is the normal force per unit area exerted on an imaginary or real plane surface in a fluid, gas or solid.

Pressure is interesting, as there are so many different types!

To calculate pressure, the following equation is used.

Pressure=ForceAreaPressure =\frac{Force}{Area}
Gauge Pressure is the difference between the pressure in a system and the surrounding atmosphere.

Pgauge=Psystem−PatmosphereP_{gauge}=P_{system}-P_{atmosphere}
