Q The pressure less than atmospheric pressure, is known as:

  • A Suction pressure
  • B Vacuum pressure
  • C Negative gauge pressure
  • D All of these

MCQs Details

All of these terms refer to pressure less than atmospheric pressure, but they are used in different contexts. Suction pressure is used when a fluid is being drawn into a system, vacuum pressure is used when the pressure is measured with respect to the absolute vacuum, and negative gauge pressure is used when the pressure at a specific point needs to be measured relative to the atmospheric pressure.
