Answer:

No, it absolute pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gauge pressure is relative to the pressure of the atmosphere. It is the difference between the pressure measured and the pressure of the atmosphere. If it is measuring atmospheric pressure it will always read zero.

The measurement is an absolute pressure, which is the pressure above a total vacuum.
