Manhal,
I'd say the answer to your question is "yes". Typically pressure gauges are installed into the side of a pipe (or vessel) with the intention of measuring the static pressure at that point. In our business, we are seldom concerned with any other type of pressure, although we may be concerned with pressure differentials across flow measurement elements. Having been briefly exposed to some aeronautical engineers in the past, I know that in their business dynamic pressures and total pressures are important, and they do a much better job than Chem E's in defining the type of pressure they mean.
