Engineers use several different scales for pressure. Standard atmospheric pressure, which is the air pressure at sea level. Absolute pressure is referenced to regions such as outer space, where the pressure is essentially zero because the region is devoid of gas. When pressure is measured relative to prevailing local atmospheric pressure, the pressure value is called gage pressure. Describe the relationship of the 3 different scales for pressure. A. Pabs = Pgage + Pvacuum B. Patm = Pgage + Pabs C. Pabs = Patm + Pgage D. Pgage = Pabsolute + Patm E. None of the above
