of pressure measurement device to be used.
Different types of pressures can be classified into two
categories:
based on selection of reference pressure
based on nature

Stagnation pressure (Pitot pressure) is the sum of
free-stream static and dynamic pressures at any point
where the flow is brought to rest.
at any point in the flow: = +

Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor in
thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed
phases at a given temperature in a closed system.
