It's not quite that simple. The pressure will vary greatly due to a large number of things included but not limited to Blower speed, ambient temperature, engine speed, cooling fan efficiency and condenser condition. The only accurate way to charge a system is to completely recover all the refrigerant, evacuate the system and charge it with the exact weighed specification of refrigerant.

Zackery! Read those procedures. Ask if they generate a question from that. First rule - you can't know how much charge is in a system unless filled from a vacuum as said. Other observations can indicate it's within range of norms and that's about all,
