A gauge indicates 15 PSIG. What is the absolute pressure?
- 30 PSI.
- 15 PSI.
- 45 PSI.
Explanation from PART66Online
Absolute pressure equals gauge pressure plus atmospheric pressure. A gauge reading 15 PSIG plus the roughly 15 PSI of atmospheric pressure gives about 30 PSI absolute. The 15 PSI option forgets to add atmospheric pressure.

15 psi + 14.7 (atmospheric pressure)=29.7 almost 30
