   The dial on the right side displays the set ground atmospheric pressure, which can be adjusted with the knob on the bottom left. Thus, this altimeter is displaying an altitude of 10,180 feet with a ground pressure of 29.92 inHg. The stripes at the bottom are fully concealed at 15,000 feet and above and fully visible at 10,000 feet and below.

4. Altimeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altimeter

   The greater the altitude, the lower the pressure. When a barometer is supplied with a nonlinear calibration so as to indicate altitude, the instrument is a type of altimeter called a pressure altimeter or barometric altimeter. A pressure altimeter is the altimeter found in most aircraft, and skydivers use wrist-mounted versions for similar ...

5. Altitude - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altitude

   When flying at a flight level, the altimeter is always set to standard pressure (29.92 inHg or 1013.25 hPa). On the flight deck, the definitive instrument for measuring altitude is the pressure altimeter, which is an aneroid barometer with a front face indicating distance (feet or metres) instead of atmospheric pressure.

   Calorimeters are called active or heated if they heat the sample, or reformulated: if they are gauged to fill the sample with a defined amount of entropy. Actinometer heating power of radiation. Constant-temperature calorimeter , phase change calorimeter for example an ice calorimeter or any other calorimeter observing a phase change or using a ...

7. Pitot–static system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitot–static_system

   Pressure altimeters must be calibrated prior to flight to register the pressure as an altitude above sea level. The instrument case of the altimeter is airtight and has a vent to the static port. Inside the instrument, there is a sealed aneroid barometer. As pressure in the case decreases, the internal barometer expands, which is mechanically ...
