Study Notes
Pressure Element Principles
- Pressure is a measure of the force applied to a unit area.
- Force is the pushing or pulling that can cause an object to move or change shape.
- Force can be applied in any direction.
Calculating Pressure
- Pressure (P) is calculated by dividing the force (in pounds) by the area (in square inches): P = Force / Area
- Example: A 50-pound block measuring 10 square inches on each side is placed on a table of the same size, resulting in a pressure of 5 psi.
Units of Pressure
- The most common unit of pressure is pounds per square inch (psi).
Pressure Scales
- There are three common scales for measuring pressure:
- Gauge Pressure Scale
- Absolute Pressure Scale
- Vacuum Pressure Scale
