In the United States, barometric pressure is based on inches - with normal being around 29.9 inches.

In other parts of the world, the "SI" or metric units are more commonly used to represent barometric pressure.

How do fortin barometers work?

The way the Fortin barometer works is different in a sense that it uses atmospheric pressure to balance the weight of a column of mercury against it. From that, any change in the atmospheric pressure is accompanied by an immediate change in the level of the mercury and can be measured against the scale engraved on the barometer.
