Pressure measurements

Pressure measurements quantify the force applied over a specific area, commonly expressed in units like pascals (Pa), pounds per square inch (psi), or atmospheres (atm). It reflects how much air or fluid compresses in a given space. For instance, tire pressure affects vehicle performance; too low can cause poor handling, while too high risks blowouts. Pressure gauges are tools used to measure this force in various contexts, such as weather forecasting (air pressure) or in medical settings (blood pressure). Understanding pressure helps us gauge conditions, optimize processes, and ensure safety in numerous applications.
