   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_measuring_instruments

   Barometer used to measure the atmospheric pressure. Manometer (see Pressure measurement and Pressure sensor) Pitot tube (measures airspeed) Tire-pressure gauge in industry and mobility; For the ranges of pressure-values see: Orders of magnitude (pressure)

3. McLeod gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLeod_gauge

   McLeod gauges operate by taking in a sample volume of gas from a vacuum chamber, then compressing it by tilting and infilling with mercury. The pressure in this smaller volume is then measured by a mercury manometer, and knowing the compression ratio (the ratio of the initial and final volumes), the pressure of the original vacuum can be ...

4. Gas meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_meter

   Temperature, pressure, and heating value compensation must be made to measure actual amount and value of gas moving through a meter. Several different designs of gas meters are in common use, depending on the volumetric flow rate of gas to be measured, the range of flows anticipated, the type of gas being measured, and other factors.

5. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

   The squeeze-film pressure sensor is a type of MEMS resonant pressure sensor that operates by a thin membrane that compresses a thin film of gas at high frequency. Since the compressibility and stiffness of the gas film are pressure dependent, the resonance frequency of the squeeze-film pressure sensor is used as a measure of the gas pressure.

6. Gas volume corrector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_volume_corrector

   Gas volume corrector - device for calculating, summing and determining increments of gas volume, measured by gas meter if it were operating base conditions. For this purpose, uses as input the gas volume, measured by the gas meter and other parameters such as: gas pressure and temperature. It is used for the settlement of trade wholesale gas.

7. Gas holder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_holder

   A gas holder or gasholder, also known as a gasometer, is a large container in which natural gas or town gas (coal gas or formerly also water gas) is stored near atmospheric pressure at ambient temperatures. The volume of the container follows the quantity of stored gas, with pressure coming from the weight of a movable cap.
