1 Pressure and Flow rate Pressure Definition Absolute Pressure : Absolute Pressure is the force per unit area applied to anything, whether that anything is a solid, liquid or gas. Imagine a column of liquid above an area 1 ft by 1 ft. The force exerted on the 1ft x 1 ft area is the weight of that column of liquid. If the liquid is water and h = 5 ft then the total volume of the column is 5 ft3. Water weighs Lb/ft3 so the weight of the column above would be 312Lb .Since this weight is spread over 1 ft2 the Pressure exerted by that column of water would be 312 Lb/ft2 or Lb/in2 ( psi). Since this is the total Pressure on that 1ft x 1 ft area we say that this is an absolute Pressure and write psia.
