 | | In technical work, this is written "a gauge pressure of 220 kPa." Where space is limited, such as on gauges, name plates, graph labels, and table headings, the use of a modifier in parentheses, such as "kPa (gauge)" or "kPa (absolute)," is permitted. |
 | | In non-SI technical work, a gauge pressure is sometimes written as "32 psig," though the other methods explained above that avoid attaching characters to the unit of pressure are preferred. |
 | | In static gas, the gas as a whole does not appear to move, the individual molecules of the gas, which we cannot see, are in constant random motion. |
