Sound Pressure Formula Elements

Variables
Pressure
The Pressure refers to the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.
Symbol: Ps
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Total Atmospheric Pressure
The Total atmospheric pressure refers to the force exerted by the weight of the atmosphere on a surface, typically measured in pascals (Pa) or atmospheres (atm), at sea level averaging 101,325 Pa.
Symbol: Patm
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Barometric Pressure
The Barometric Pressure refers to the force exerted by the atmosphere at a given point, measured using a barometer, typically in inches of mercury in (Hg) or (mb).
Symbol: Pb
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Sound Pressure?

Sound Pressure evaluator uses Pressure = Total Atmospheric Pressure-Barometric Pressure to evaluate the Pressure, The Sound Pressure formula is defined as the local variation from the ambient atmospheric pressure caused by a sound wave, typically measured in pascals (Pa). Pressure is denoted by Ps symbol.
