Problem

Does WaterGEMS and WaterCAD report pressures as gauge pressure or absolute pressure?

Problem ID#: 81672

The pressures used in WaterGEMS and WaterCAD are gauge pressures. The exception to this is the pressure inputted in the gas law used in hydropneumatic tanks, since the gas law uses absolute pressure.
