A pressure room may refer to: A positive pressure enclosure, which uses positive pressure to remove harmful substances from the enclosure;
Schematic of a network of rooms where air (shown in blue) flows in one direction from the corridor into the negative pressure room (green). Exhaust air is safely removed from the area through a ventilation system. Negative pressure is generated and maintained in a room by a ventilation system that continually attempts to move air out of the ...
The laws describing the behaviour of gases under fixed pressure, volume, amount of gas, and absolute temperature conditions are called gas laws.The basic gas laws were discovered by the end of the 18th century when scientists found out that relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would hold to approximation for all gases.
Positive pressure rooms are used for immunocompromised persons (eg. Neutropenic) whereby controlled quality air is sent into the room to prevent random (and potentially polluted) air from entering the room. [4] The CDC recommends a positive pressure differential of at least 2.5 Pa between the positively pressured room and the adjoining hallway. [5]
In medicine, hydrostatic pressure in blood vessels is the pressure of the blood against the wall. It is the opposing force to oncotic pressure. In capillaries, hydrostatic pressure (also known as capillary blood pressure) is higher than the opposing “colloid osmotic pressure” in blood—a “constant” pressure primarily produced by ...

Pressure (symbol: p or P) is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed. [1]: 445 Gauge pressure (also spelled gage pressure) [a] is the pressure relative to the ambient pressure. Various units are used to express pressure.
The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales. This item is rare in NSW. It is the third largest pressure tunnel in the world. [1] The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales.
