A glove box is an enclosure held at a lower pressure than its surroundings to ensure that any fluid that escapes its container within the glove does not escape into its surroundings. The pressure inside a sealed container sitting in the laboratory is 7.3 psig when the pressure in the laboratory is 14.8 psia. a) What is the absolute pressure inside the container? b) What is the gage pressure inside the container when it is inside a glove box maintained at a pressure of 13.5 psia? PABS = PGAGE= psia psig

Question
A glove box is an enclosure held at a lower
pressure than its surroundings to ensure
that any fluid that escapes its container
within the glove does not escape into its
surroundings. The pressure inside a sealed
container sitting in the laboratory is 7.3
psig when the pressure in the laboratory is
14.8 psia.
a) What is the absolute pressure inside
the container?
b) What is the gage pressure inside the
container when it is inside a glove box
maintained at a pressure of 13.5 psia?
PABS =
PGAGE=
psia
psig
