Air pressure is commonly described by several units (as Celsius and Fahrenheit both describe temperature)..

millibars

pascals

mm of Mercury

in. of Mercury

The instruments to measure air pressure in the ambient surroundings include:

  • a mercury barometer
  • ananeroid barometer
  • a weather glass

Air pressure can also be measured in containers (auto tyres and tanks). These measurements utilize:

  • Bourdon gauges
  • Diaphragm gauges
  • Spring gauges (Like tyre pressure gauges)
  • Piezoelectric gauges

1. Pa (pascal) - that is 1 N/m2 (One Newton per metre squared)

2. PSI (pounds per square inch)

They also use a unit called a bar. 1 bar = 100 kP which is also the average air pressure at sea level. 1 bar = air pressure at sea level.

Happy to help.

A barometer is one. That's all I know. I have homework to do regarding 2 instruments to measure air pressure.

ADDED:

The Aneroid Barometer, as you say, for atmospheric pressure.

Also typically, a Bourdon-principle pressure-gauge for anything much higher, such as tyre pressures.

Use a Baromitic Measurer And Use something that can show how much air there is! Ex : Basketball pumper!

What is the relationship between pressure and airflow?

There are two types of atm pressure: static and dynamic. Static atm pressure stems solely from amount of air piled above the pressure point where the pressure is measured. We typically measure that at ground level; so the pressure is based on the weight of all the air above the ground. Dynamic air pressure is based in part on the static air pressure but as modified by the flow of the air above the pressure point where it's measured. A gent named Bernoulli found that the static air pressure is reduced by a predictable amount depending on air velocity when the air flows over the pressure point. And that's the answer. The static air pressure is reduced by air flow over the pressure point. In fact the amount of reduction is proportional to the velocity of the air flow over the pressure point.
