Absolute pressure is the sum of gauge pressure and atmospheric pressure. Aneroid gauge measures pressure using a bellows-and-spring arrangement connected to the pointer of a calibrated scale. Open-tube manometers have U-shaped tubes and one end is always open. It is used to measure pressure.

Fluids push rather than pull, so the smallest absolute pressure is zero. (A negative absolute pressure is a pull.) Thus the smallest possible gauge pressure is P g = − P atm P g = − P atm (this makes P abs P abs zero). There is no theoretical limit to how large a gauge pressure can be. There are a host of devices for measuring pressure ...

For the fluid to just enter the vein, its pressure at entry must exceed the blood pressure in the vein (18 mm Hg above atmospheric pressure). We therefore need to find the height of fluid that corresponds to this gauge pressure.
We first need to convert the pressure into SI units. Since 1.0 mm Hg = 133 Pa, P=18 mm Hg×133 Pa1.0mm Hg=2400 PaP=18 mm Hg×133 Pa1.0mm Hg=2400 Pa Rearranging Pg = hρg for h gives h=Pgρgh=Pgρg. Substituting known values into this equation gives h=2400 N/m2(1.0×103kg/m3)(9.80m/s2)=0.24 m.h=2400 N/m2(1.0×103kg/m3)(9.80m/s2)=0.24 m.
The IV bag must be placed at 0.24 m above the entry point into the arm for the fluid to just enter the arm. Generally, IV bags are placed higher than this. You may have noticed that the bags used for blood collection are placed below the donor to allow blood to flow easily from the arm to the bag, which is the opposite direction of flow than requir...

For example, if a tire gauge reads 34 psi, then the absolute pressure is 34 psi plus 14.7 psi (p atm in psi), or 48.7 psi (equivalent to 336 kPa). In most cases, the absolute pressure in fluids cannot be negative. Fluids push rather than pull, so the smallest absolute pressure in a fluid is zero (a negative absolute pressure is a pull).
