Force amp Pressure
Illustration of pressure varying with temperature
Pressure-temperature law
wwwnfiautomationorg
Boylersquos law or BoylendashMariotte law
the absolute pressure and volume of a given mass of confined gas are inversely
proportional if the temperature remains unchanged within a closed system
Thus it states that the product of pressure and volume is a constant for a given
mass of confined gas as long as the temperature is constant
pV= k
Pressure = Voltage
Volume = Capacitance
Flow rate = Current
Flow Restrictions = Resistance

Typical Units of Pressure
The SI unit for pressure is the Pascal (Pa) equal to one newton per
square meter (Nm2 or kgmiddotmminus1middotsminus2)

Illustration of pressure varying with temperature
Pressure-temperature law
wwwnfiautomationorg
Boylersquos law or BoylendashMariotte law
the absolute pressure and volume of a given mass of confined gas are inversely
proportional if the temperature remains unchanged within a closed system
Thus it states that the product of pressure and volume is a constant for a given
mass of confined gas as long as the temperature is constant
pV= k
Pressure = Voltage
Volume = Capacitance
Flow rate = Current
Flow Restrictions = Resistance
