2. 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 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 .

3. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

   For low pressure differences, light oil or water are commonly used (the latter giving rise to units of measurement such as inches water gauge and millimetres H 2 O). Liquid-column pressure gauges have a highly linear calibration. They have poor dynamic response because the fluid in the column may react slowly to a pressure change.

4. Pirani gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirani_gauge

   The power consumption is drastically reduced compared to continuously operated Pirani gauges. The gauge's thermal influence on the real measurement is lowered considerably due to the low temperature threshold of 80 °C and the ramp heating in pulsed mode. The pulsed mode can be efficiently implemented using modern microprocessors. Disadvantages

5. 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.

6. Inch of mercury - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inch_of_mercury

   Inch of mercury (inHg and ″Hg) is a non-SI unit of measurement for pressure. It is used for barometric pressure in weather reports, refrigeration and aviation in the United States. It is the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 inch (25.4 mm) in height at the standard acceleration of gravity.

7. Orders of magnitude (pressure) - Wikipedia

   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]
