2. Mercury pressure gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_pressure_gauge

   Gauges for measuring pressure in the range 20–30 standard atmospheres (15,000–23,000 mmHg) have been built. [13] A 23-metre-tall mercury column is difficult to read and suffers from inaccuracies caused by different parts of the column being at different temperatures. A more compact mercury pressure gauge suitable for high pressure was built ...

3. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

   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. When measuring vacuum, the working liquid may evaporate and contaminate the vacuum if its vapor pressure is too high. When measuring liquid pressure, a loop filled with gas or a ...

4. Diving hazards - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_hazards

   A burst low pressure hose will usually lose gas faster than a burst high pressure hose, as HP hoses usually have a flow restriction orifice in the fitting that screws into the port, [16]: 185 as the submersible pressure gauge does not need high flow, and a slower pressure increase in the gauge hose is less likely to overload the gauge, while ...

6. Calibration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration

   Automatic calibration - A U.S. serviceman using a 3666C auto pressure calibrator. An automatic pressure calibrator [13] is a device that combines an electronic control unit, a pressure intensifier used to compress a gas such as Nitrogen, a pressure transducer used to detect desired levels in a hydraulic accumulator, and accessories such as ...

7. Depth gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_gauge

   A depth gauge is an instrument for measuring depth below a vertical reference surface. They include depth gauges for underwater diving and similar applications. A diving depth gauge is a pressure gauge that displays the equivalent depth below the free surface in water. The relationship between depth and pressure is linear and accurate enough ...

8. Ruby pressure scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Pressure_Scale

   Ruby spectra R1, R2 lines. The ruby fluorescence pressure scale is an optical method to measure pressure within a sample chamber of a diamond anvil cell apparatus. [1] Since it is an optical method, which fully make use of the transparency of diamond anvils and only requires an access to a small scale laser generator, it has become the most prevalent pressure gauge method in high pressure ...

9. Diving chamber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_chamber

   A diving chamber is a vessel for human occupation, which may have an entrance that can be sealed to hold an internal pressure significantly higher than ambient pressure, a pressurised gas system to control the internal pressure, and a supply of breathing gas for the occupants.
