As industry experts at Pye-Barker Engineered Solutions, we are your go-to partners for industrial equipment knowledge, especially when it comes to understanding the nuances of industrial terms. Today, we bring you a detailed insight into the vital pressure measurements in the industry - PSI and PSIG. Serving Florida and Georgia, we are committed to delivering engineered solutions that meet your specific needs.
Before we delve into comparing PSI vs PSIG, it's crucial to understand what each term means. PSI, or pounds per square inch, is a standard unit of pressure used worldwide. On the other hand, PSIG, or pounds per square inch gauge, refers to the pressure read on a gauge, which is relative to the atmospheric pressure around it.
PSI, as an absolute measure of pressure, considers the vacuum of space as the reference point. This means that PSI measures the total pressure in a system, including atmospheric pressure. PSI is a key term used in Florida and Georgia's industrial sectors, essential for various operations, from hydraulic systems to compressed air applications.
Contrary to PSI, PSIG measurements start at the current atmospheric pressure, not absolute zero. When you take a PSIG reading, it's relative to the atmospheric pressure in your current environment. Hence, PSIG is more sensitive to changes in weather or altitude, an important consideration for industry specialists in both Florida and Georgia.
Now that we've defined PSI and PSIG, the difference between them becomes clear. While PSI is an absolute measure, PSIG is relative to atmospheric pressure. The implications of this difference are significant. When designing and operating industrial equipment, it's crucial to know if a pressure measurement is absolute (PSI) or gauge (PSIG) to ensure optimal and safe operation.
