2. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

   Example of the widely used Bourdon pressure gauge 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.

3. Barometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometer

   A submersible pressure gauge is used to keep track of the contents of the diver's air tank. Another gauge is used to measure the hydrostatic pressure, usually expressed as a depth of sea water. Either or both gauges may be replaced with electronic variants or a dive computer. [37]

4. Atmospheric pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_pressure

   Atmospheric pressure, also known as air pressure or barometric pressure (after the barometer), is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth. The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa (1,013.25 hPa ), which is equivalent to 1,013.25 millibars , [ 1 ] 760 mm Hg , 29.9212 inches Hg , or 14.696 psi .

5. 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.

6. Bar (unit) - Wikipedia

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

   Atmospheric air pressure where standard atmospheric pressure is defined as 1013.25 mbar, 101.325 kPa, 1.01325 bar, which is about 14.7 pounds per square inch. Despite the millibar not being an SI unit, meteorologists and weather reporters worldwide have long measured air pressure in millibar as the values are convenient.

7. Inch of mercury - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inch_of_mercury

   In air conditioning and refrigeration, inHg is often used to describe "inches of mercury vacuum", or pressures below ambient atmospheric pressure, for recovery of refrigerants from air conditioning and refrigeration systems, as well as for leak testing of systems while under a vacuum, and for dehydration of refrigeration systems. The low-side ...
