When converting metric pressure values, an absolute pressure of 7 "bars" would be approximately equal to what value of "psia"?
⢠Conversion between bar and pounds per square inch absolute (psia) ⢠Remember that 1 bar is approximately equal to 14.5 psia ⢠Distinguishing between gauge pressure (psig) and absolute pressure (psia), even though only absolute is used here
⢠First, recall or estimate how many psia are in 1 bar, then multiply by 7 to get close to the answer ⢠Compare your calculated value to the choices and see which one is closest to your estimate ⢠Think about whether the result should be closer to a low pressure (around 20 psia) or a high pressure (around 100 psia) when dealing with multiple bars
⢠Verify your conversion factor for 1 bar to psia before doing the math ⢠Carefully multiply the conversion factor by 7 and round reasonably to match the choices ⢠Check that your final value is in absolute pressure (psia), not gauge pressure (psig), even though numerically the conversion step is the same here
