PRESSURE VACUUM CONVERSION FACTORS

Atmospheric or barometric pressure is the pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere and varies by altitude, location and weather. A column of
air one square inch in cross-section from sea level to the top of the atmosphere weighs about 14.7 pounds. Absolute pressure is measured in reference
to a perfect vacuum and so is equal to the gauge pressure plus the atmospheric pressure. Gauge pressure uses ambient air pressure as its zero point
and so is equal to the absolute pressure less the ambient atmospheric pressure.
