Using atmospheric pressure as reference is usually signified by a "g" for gauge after the pressure unit, e.g. 70 psig, which means that the pressure measured is the total pressure minus atmospheric pressure. There are two types of gauge reference pressure: vented gauge (vg) and sealed gauge (sg).

For instance, an absolute pressure of 80 kPa may be described as a gauge pressure of −21 kPa (i.e., 21 kPa below an atmospheric pressure of 101 kPa). For example, abdominal decompression is an obstetric procedure during which negative gauge pressure is applied intermittently to a pregnant woman's abdomen. Negative absolute pressures are possible.
A submersible pressure gauge is used to keep track of the contents of the diver's air tank. Another gauge is used to measure the hydrostatic pressure, usually expressed as a depth of sea water. Either or both gauges may be replaced with electronic variants or a dive computer. [37]
Before 1947, Albania was the only country in Europe not to have a standard rail service, although some narrow gauge lines were built during World War I. [4] In 1947, Albania's first standard gauge line was opened between Durrës and Peqin, measuring 44km. This was soon followed by the Durrës–Tirana line in 1948.
Graffiti in the Republic of Macedonia reading "Death for Shiptars" (Macedonian: Смрт за Шиптари, romanized: Smrt za Šiptari).
