  2. Torricelli's experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torricelli's_experiment

    Torricelli concluded that the mercury fluid in the tube is aided by the atmospheric pressure that is present on the surface of mercury fluid on the dish. He also stated that the changes of liquid level from day to day are caused by the variation of atmospheric pressure. The empty space in the tube is called the Torricellian vacuum. [3] 760 mmHg ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    In the following illustrations of a compound gauge (vacuum and gauge pressure), the case and window has been removed to show only the dial, pointer and process connection. This particular gauge is a combination vacuum and pressure gauge used for automotive diagnosis: Indicator front with pointer and dial Mechanical side with Bourdon tube

  4. McLeod gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLeod_gauge

    A glass McLeod gauge, drained of mercury. A McLeod gauge is a scientific instrument used to measure very low pressures, down to 10 −6 Torr (0.133 mPa). 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 ...

  5. Vacuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum

    The quality of a partial vacuum refers to how closely it approaches a perfect vacuum. Other things equal, lower gas pressure means higher-quality vacuum. For example, a typical vacuum cleaner produces enough suction to reduce air pressure by around 20%. [3] But higher-quality vacuums are possible.

    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. Ultra-high vacuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high_vacuum

    Measurement of high vacuum is done using a nonabsolute gauge that measures a pressure-related property of the vacuum. See, for example, Pacey. [2] These gauges must be calibrated. [3] The gauges capable of measuring the lowest pressures are magnetic gauges based upon the pressure dependence of the current in a spontaneous gas discharge in ...
