  The MSDS HyperGlossary: Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)
Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) is defined as 0 degrees Celsius and 1 atmosphere of pressure.
The letters "STP" occur most commonly on an MSDS after a physical property such as the density or flammable limit of a gas or the vapor pressure of a material.
For example, in the calculation in the previous section, the volume would be 858 liters at 20 °C, a difference of 7%.

 Measuring Volume of Liquid, Gas
Specifying the "Normal" conditions of measurement must be done with gases, since the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure, and proportional to absolute temperature.
In other words, because gas volume changes so dramatically with temperature and pressure, we have to establish some "normal" or "known" temperature and pressure conditions in order to be able to compare one person's measurement with another.
When measuring gas volumes, the N means the gas is at normal temperature and pressure, usually taken to be 20.0 C and 1.01 bar (one atmosphere).

 Pressure and States of Matter - Succeed in Physical Science
The temperature that a material changes its state is usually given at the average air pressure at sea level.
The reason increasing pressure will increase the required temperature of changing the state is because the pressure is a result of molecules from the outside material (like air molecules for air pressure) smashing into the object's molecules and preventing them to become free from their own molecular attraction.
A graph comparing the values temperature and pressure needed to have a change of state of various materials also shows special situations where a solid will change directly into a gas.

 Temperature and pressure
In this paper we will be considering how small changes in either temperature or pressure will cause one or both of these failures to occur, and learn how to prevent these changes especially when the pump is stopped and often subject to both temperature and pressure fluctuations.
But since pumpage pressure and temperature changes are normal (especially at shut down) we are going to have to become skillful in controlling the temperature and pressure in the stuffing box area to prevent a premature seal failure.
The temperature of steam is directly related to its pressure.

 Correction for Hg expansion
This is because the chamber (with specific electrometer) correction factors (for example, gray to air/coulomb) generated at the time of calibration are most often calculated to "normal" room temperature and pressure (T&P) conditions (that is, 22 degrees C and 760 mm Hg).
If you are using a mercury (Hg) barometer to take the ambient pressure reading at or near your radiation measurement (for example, in a radiation therapy clinic), one does need to consider the volumetric expansion of the Hg with temperature.
That is, ensure it is to "normal" temperature and not "standard" conditions (that is, 0 degrees C).

 Is High-Normal Blood Pressure a Medical Misnomer?
High blood pressure is defined in adults as a systolic pressure (top number) of 140 or higher and a diastolic level (bottom number) of 90 or more.
Those with lower levels have readings considered to be either normal (between 120 and 129 systolic/80 to 84 diastolic), or optimal (a systolic level less than 120 and a diastolic level less than 80).
The researchers reported that those with blood pressures in the high-normal range were 1.5 to 2.5 times more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke or develop heart failure during a 10-year period than those with optimal readings.

At normal temperature and pressure, approximately 18 percent of air by volume is soluble in the military hydraulic fluids, (MIL-PRF-83282, MIL-PRF-87257 and MIL-PRF-5606).
In order to prevent free air from forming in the fluid, the sensor must be capable of measuring both the free air and the dissolved air in the hydraulic fluid.
The sensor must be compatible with the hydraulic fluids and functional over the anticipated temperature range of the hydraulic fluid of -40 to 275 degrees F. The sensor is not to be mounted on aircraft but on ground support equipment, e.g., hydraulic fluid purifier or hydraulic test stand.

 Roughage utilization in warm climates
Success factors mainly involve the amount of ammonia used, its temperature, the duration of the treatment and the humidity under which treatment takes place; they also depend upon the nature of the forage to be treated and the interaction of all these parameters in a manner between which it is difficult to distinguish.
The rapid rise in temperature during treatment due to heat released from the chemical reaction is insufficient to ensure optimum conditions for treating the stacks (without additional heat being applied).
It is essential to observe a treatment period determined according to ambient temperature, a longer period at low temperatures and vice et versa at higher temperatures.

When concentration is expressed in terms of mass of contaminant per volume of air, changes in temperature and pressure result in changes in the volume of air but not in the mass of the contaminant.
Therefore, the concentration expressions are accurate only at a specified temperature and pressure.
Likewise, it is necessary to understand the effects of pressure and temperature changes and to be able to use these in calculations.

The SI unit of pressure is Newtons per meter squared, since the Newton (N) is the SI unit of force and the square meter is the SI unit for area.
At constant temperature and pressure, the density of a gas is directly proportional to the molar mass.
Under normal temperature and pressure conditions, however, the attractive forces between molecules don't have much time to act, since the molecules are far apart from one another and moving past one another very quickly.

 Radioactive potassium may be major heat source in Earth's core
During the planet's formation, this potassium-iron alloy could have sunk to the core, depleting potassium in the overlying mantle and crust and providing a radioactive potassium heat source in addition to that supplied by uranium and thorium in the core.
The existence of this high-pressure alloy was predicted by Bukowinski in the mid-1970s.
In the theoretical magma ocean of a proto-Earth, the pressure at a depth of 400-1,000 kilometers (270-670 miles) would be between 15 and 35 gigapascals and the temperature would be 2,200-3,000 Kelvin, Jeanloz said.

 Stanford SOLAR Center -- Ask A Solar Physicist FAQs - Answer
So, at the "normal" temperature and pressure on earth, a hydrogen nucleus has basically no chance of ever joining with another hydrogen nucleus.
Now we know that in the middle of the sun, where the temperature is about 16 million degrees, and the pressure is 250 billion atmospheres, hydrogen nuclei will sometimes have enough energy to join together.
There isn't really any one temperature and pressure where the nuclei start joining together, but the chance of it happening depends very strongly on the temperature and pressure.

 Environmental Expert.com. Is the Rotameter Ready for Retirement in Air Sampling/Monitoring Applications?   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The scale on the rotameter is determined by altering the flow rate of air passing through the rotameter while maintaining a constant absolute pressure at the outlet of the rotameter and a constant temperature of the air passing through it.
It is representative of the actual conditions of air temperature and absolute pressure at the outlet of the rotameter at the time the flow rate is observed, assuming a properly performed observation of the float level and interpretation and interpolation of the scale, whether the ball is steady or bouncing up and down.
(a) Rarely does anyone measure the absolute pressure at the outlet of the rotameter or the temperature of the air flowing through the rotameter of an air sampler in order to be able to correct to a set of reference T and P conditions.
