What is "high pressure"

n. an air mass of higher than normal pressure; "the east coast benefits from a Bermuda high" [syn: high]

High pressure in science and engineering is studying the effects of high pressure on materials and the design and construction of devices, such as a diamond anvil cell, which can create high pressure. By high pressure it is usually meant pressures of thousands (kilo bars) or millions (megabars) of times atmospheric pressure (about 1 bar or 100,000 Pa).

High Pressure is a 1932 American Pre-Code comedy film directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starring William Powell and Evelyn Brent. It is based on the play Hot Money by Aben Kandel.

High Pressure is an album by jazz pianist Red Garland, recorded in 1957 but not released until 1962 on Prestige Records.
