pressure level

• Término técnico que indica la magnitud de la fuerza por unidad de área ejercida por un fluido o gas, o el nivel de intensidad de una señal sonora, medido a menudo en pascales o en decibelios.

A technical term referring to the magnitude of force per unit area exerted by a fluid or gas, often measured in decibels for sound or pascals for physical pressure.

1. Sound Pressure LevelC1formal

   A measure of the pressure of a sound wave relative to a reference value, usually expressed in decibels (dB).

   Nivel de presión sonora

   • The sound pressure level at the concert exceeded 100 dB.
   • Engineers measured the pressure level inside the acoustic chamber.
   • High pressure levels can cause hearing damage over time.

2. Atmospheric or Fluid Pressure LevelC1formal

   The amount of force exerted by a fluid (gas or liquid) per unit area, often measured in pascals or psi.

   Nivel de presión

   • The pressure level in the hydraulic system must be monitored regularly.
   • Atmospheric pressure level decreases with altitude.
   • The pressure level inside the boiler reached critical limits.
