Is absolute pressure same as gauge pressure?

[avito009]

From what I have read:

Gauge Pressure: The amount by which the pressure measured in a fluid exceeds that of the atmosphere.

and

Absolute pressure: Total pressure at a point in a fluid equaling the sum of the gauge and the atmospheric pressures.So Absolute pressure= P_atm+ P-P_atm= P (Which is pressure in a fluid). Atmospheric pressure cancels each other in the equation.

So Absolute pressure= P_atm+ P-P_atm= P (Which is pressure in a fluid). Atmospheric pressure cancels each other in the equation.

Yes. So the answer to your question in the title is no.

Why are you subtracting Patm from P? Pabs = Pgauge + Patmos.

Why are you subtracting Patm from P?

I support the question.
avito009, The instruments measures the pressure actually measured the pressure difference. The gauge pressure is the difference between measured pressure and atmosphere.pressure and the absolute one is the pressure difference between measured pressure and prussure of vacuum (zero).
