Pressure means negative pressure if the compression of the springs is obtained by means of a vacuum device.
Pressure means relative internal pressure in pounds per square inch gauge (psig).
Pressure means the gauge pressure, expressed in bar, which is the difference between the absolute pressure of the gas and the atmospheric pressure.
