Index

The word "index" has a very large number of completely different meanings in mathematics. Most

commonly, it is used in the context of an index set, where it means a quantity which can take on a set of

values and is used to designate one out of a number of possible values associated with this value. For

example, the subscript in the symbol could be called the index of .

In a radical , the quantity is called the index.

The word index has a special meaning in economics, where it refers to a single quantity used to quantify
the "average" value of a possibly complicated set of quantities. In this context, it is sometimes called an

index number.

In topology, index theory refers to the study of topological invariants of manifolds.

Marshall-Edgeworth Index

The statistical index

where is the price per unit in period , is the quantity produced in period , and is the value

of the units.

PSIG is the pressure read from a guage which reads the difference between the pressure in the
pipe and the pressure of the atmosphere. PSIA is the total pressure including the pressure of the
atmosphere.

PSIG + 1 atmosphere = PSIA

PSIA - 1 atmosphere = PSIG

1 atmosphere is approximately 14.7 PSI, so use that value, or the acutual atmosphere
measurement for your location if you have it.

psia is the absolute pressure

psig is the gauge pressure. It is lower than the absolute pressue by the atmospheric pressure in
the room where the gauge is being used.

atomospheric pressure is generally assumed to be 14.7 psi

psi is not specific, but generally assumed to be the same as psig

1 psi = 1/14.5 bar = 1e5/14.5 Pa (or N/m2)

Therefore 1 psi = 1e5/14.5 x 1e-4 = 10/14.5 N/cm2 = 0.6897 N/cm2

1N = 1 kg.m/s2 = 1/9.8067 kgf

I'm assuming you mean kgf, otherwise the units of your conversion would be kg/cm/s2...

Assuming you mean kgf/cm2:

1 psi = 0.6897/9.8067 = 0.0703 kgf/cm2

1 psi = 1/14.5 bar = 1e5/14.5 Pa (or N/m2)

Therefore 1 psi = 1e5/14.5 x 1e-4 = 10/14.5 N/cm2 = 0.6897 N/cm2

1N = 1 kg.m/s2 = 1/9.8067 kgf

Assuming you mean kgf/cm2:

1 psi = 0.6897/9.8067 = 0.0703 kgf/cm2

so if i have air at 200psi its 214.7psig?

----o0o----

Psia "absolute" =14.7 At Sea Level

Psig "guage" = 0 At Sea Level If Your Reading Is Sensative To Altitude For Plumbing Or Avaionics
Or Even Engeniring This Would Be A Critical Issue 0 Psi Or Psig {same} =14.7 Psia
