2. Inch of water - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inch_of_water

   It is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of water of 1 inch in height at defined conditions. At a temperature of 4 °C (39.2 °F) pure water has its highest density (1000 kg/m 3). At that temperature and assuming the standard acceleration of gravity, 1 inAq is approximately 249.082 pascals (0.0361263 psi). [2]

3. Centimetre or millimetre of water - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centimetre_or_millimetre...

   A centimetre of water [1] is a unit of pressure. It may be defined as the pressure exerted by a column of water of 1 cm in height at 4 °C (temperature of maximum density) at the standard acceleration of gravity, so that 1 cmH 2 O (4°C) = 999.9720 kg/m 3 × 9.80665 m/s 2 × 1 cm = 98.063754138 Pa ≈ 98.0638 Pa, but conventionally a nominal maximum water density of 1000 kg/m 3 is used, giving ...

5. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

   Gauge pressure is zero-referenced against ambient air pressure, so it is equal to absolute pressure minus atmospheric pressure. A tire pressure gauge is an example of gauge pressure measurement; when it indicates zero, then the pressure it is measuring is the same as the ambient pressure.

6. Orders of magnitude (pressure) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(pressure)

   Air pressure in an automobile tire relative to atmosphere (gauge pressure) [citation needed] +210 to +900 kPa +30 to +130 psi Air pressure in a bicycle tire relative to atmosphere (gauge pressure) [57] 300 kPa 50 psi Water pressure of a garden hose [58] 300 to 700 kPa 50–100 psi Typical water pressure of a municipal water supply in the US [59]

7. Mercury pressure gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_pressure_gauge

   The parent of all mercury pressure gauges is the mercury barometer invented by Evangelista Torricelli in 1643. [15] An early engineering application of the mercury pressure gauge was to measure pressure in steam boilers during the age of steam. The first use on steam engines was by James Watt while developing the Watt steam engine between 1763 ...
