+1.9 psi High air pressure for human lung, measured for trumpet player making staccato high notes [48] < +16 kPa +2.3 psi Systolic blood pressure in a healthy adult while at rest (< 120 mmHg) (gauge pressure) [44] +19.3 kPa +2.8 psi High end of lung pressure, exertable without injury by a healthy person for brief times [citation needed] +34 kPa ...
In SI units, 1 psi is approximately 6,895 pascals. The pound per square inch absolute (psia) is used to make it clear that the pressure is relative to a vacuum rather than the ambient atmospheric pressure. Since atmospheric pressure at sea level is around 14.7 psi (101 kilopascals), this will be added to any pressure reading made in air at sea ...
Compressor characteristic is a mathematical curve that shows the behaviour of a fluid going through a dynamic compressor.It shows changes in fluid pressure, temperature, entropy, flow rate etc.) with the compressor operating at different speeds.
The pound per square inch (psi) is still in widespread use in the US and Canada, for measuring, for instance, tire pressure. A letter is often appended to the psi unit to indicate the measurement's zero reference; psia for absolute, psig for gauge, psid for differential, although this practice is discouraged by the NIST.

The metre (or meter) sea water (msw) is a metric unit of pressure used in underwater diving.It is defined as one tenth of a bar. [1] [2]The unit used in the US is the foot sea water (fsw), based on standard gravity and a sea-water density of 64 lb/ft 3.
Feet of water is an alternative way to specify pressure as height of a water column; it is conventionally equated to 2,989.067 pascals (0.4335275 psi). [3] In North America, air and other industrial gases are often measured in inches of water when at low pressure.
One example of standard conditions for the calculation of SCCM is = 0 °C (273.15 K) [1] and = 1.01 bar (14.72 psia) and a unity compressibility factor = 1 (i.e., an ideal gas is used for the definition of SCCM). [2] This example is for the semi-conductor-manufacturing industry.
V m = 10.7316 × 519.67 / 14.696 = 379.48 ft 3 /lbmol at 60 °F and 14.696 psi (or about 0.8366 ft 3 /gram mole) V m = 10.7316 × 519.67 / 14.730 = 378.61 ft 3 /lbmol at 60 °F and 14.73 psi; Technical literature can be confusing because many authors fail to explain whether they are using the ideal gas constant R, or the specific gas constant R s.
