2. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

   Checking tire pressure with a spring and piston tire-pressure gauge. Pressure measurement is the measurement of an applied force by a fluid (liquid or gas) on a surface. Pressure is typically measured in units of force per unit of surface area. Many techniques have been developed for the measurement of pressure and vacuum.

3. Tire-pressure gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_gauge

   A tire-pressure gauge, or tyre-pressure gauge, is a pressure gauge used to measure the pressure of tires on a vehicle. Proper tire pressure is crucial for vehicle safety, fuel efficiency, and tire longevity. Tire gauges come in various types, including analog, digital, and dial gauges, each offering different features and accuracy levels.

4. Mercury pressure gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_pressure_gauge

   Mercury pressure gauge. An open (differential) mercury pressure gauge. A mercury pressure gauge is a type of manometer using mercury as the working fluid. The most basic form of this instrument is a U-shaped glass tube filled with mercury. More complex versions deal with very high pressure or have better means of filling with mercury.

5. Bar (unit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_(unit)

   0.986923 atm. The bar is a metric unit of pressure defined as 100,000 Pa (100 kPa), though not part of the International System of Units (SI). A pressure of 1 bar is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level (approximately 1.013 bar). [1][2] By the barometric formula, 1 bar is roughly the atmospheric ...

6. Pascal (unit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(unit)

   bar: 10 −5 bar. barye (CGS unit) 10 Ba. The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). It is also used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus, and ultimate tensile strength. The unit, named after Blaise Pascal, is an SI coherent derived unit defined as one newton per square metre (N ...

7. McLeod gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLeod_gauge

   A McLeod gauge is a scientific instrument used to measure very low pressures, down to 10 −6 Torr (0.133 m Pa). It was invented in 1874 by Herbert McLeod (1841–1923). [1] McLeod gauges were once commonly found attached to equipment that operates under vacuum, such as a lyophilizer. Today, however, these gauges have largely been replaced by ...
