Psig (pounds per square inch gage) is the pressure that a normal pressure gage measures. The difference between the pressure in the vessel, to which the gage is connected, and the atmospheric pressure, is the psig. When "psi" alone is used, it usually refers to psig. 7, record 1, English, - pounds%20per%20square%20inch
