REFLECTION: Notice that when the pressure is reported in gauge, the value of 1 atm (14.696 psia) must be added to the converted pressure which results in an absolute pressure In thermodynamics, the absolute pressure is most often used. However, measured values of pressure are usually relative (i.e., gauge). Therefore, it is important to know how to convert from relative to absolute, and vice versa. Notice that 1 atm = 14.696 psia (not 14.7 psia). This could be especially important in navigating tables of thermodynamic properties. Recall that 1 atm = 101.325 kPa (or .101325 MPa)
