  2. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    Piston-type gauges counterbalance the pressure of a fluid with a spring (for example tire-pressure gauges of comparatively low accuracy) or a solid weight, in which case it is known as a deadweight tester and may be used for calibration of other gauges.

  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

    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 ...

  5. 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]

  6. Calibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration

    For example, a gauge with 3% manufacturer-stated accuracy can be changed to 4% so that a 1% accuracy standard can be used at 4:1. If the gauge is used in an application requiring 16% accuracy, having the gauge accuracy reduced to 4% will not affect the accuracy of the final measurements. This is called a limited calibration.

  7. Pirani gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirani_gauge

    The gauge may be used for pressures between 0.5 Torr to 1×10 −4 Torr. Below 5×10 −4 Torr, a Pirani gauge has only one significant digit of resolution. The thermal conductivity and heat capacity of the gas affects the readout from the meter, and therefore the apparatus may need calibrating before accurate readings are obtainable.
