FAQ

What is the Pressure?

Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed. Pressure is usually measured using the Pascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Pressure is always positive.

Can the Pressure be negative?

No, the Pressure, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Pressure?

Pressure is usually measured using the Pascal[Pa] for Pressure. Kilopascal[Pa], Bar[Pa], Pound Per Square Inch[Pa] are the few other units in which Pressure can be measured.
