There are several types of pressure measurements. Absolute pressure is measured relative to a full vacuum and uses units like PSIA. Atmospheric pressure refers to pressure at sea level, about 14.7 PSIA. Barometric pressure measures atmospheric conditions using units like millibars. Compound pressure measures from full vacuum through atmospheric pressure to positive gauge pressure in PSIC. Differential pressure measures the difference between two pressures in PSID. Gauge pressure is measured relative to ambient atmospheric pressure in PSIG. Vacuum pressure refers to pressures below atmospheric measured in PSIV or inches of mercury.
