Explanation Absolute pressure means total pressure acting on a particle or fluid. Gauge pressure is pressure concerning the local atmosphere means the amount of pressure more than the local atmosphere is exerted on fluid or by fluid. Mathematically, it is found by subtracting local atmospheric pressure from absolute or total pressure. P a b s o l u t e = P a t m o s p h e r i c + P
