A mercurial sphygmomanometer is a medical device used to measure blood pressure, utilizing mercury as the manometric fluid. It consists of a vertical glass column filled with mercury, where the height of the mercury column indicates the pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). This type of sphygmomanometer is known for its accuracy but has become less common due to concerns about mercury toxicity and environmental impact. Alternatives, such as aneroid and digital sphygmomanometers, are now more widely used.
Manometric liquids are fluids used in manometers, which are instruments designed to measure pressure differences. These liquids typically have a high density and low vapor pressure to ensure accurate readings and minimize evaporation. Common examples of manometric liquids include mercury and specific oils, which provide stable and reliable measurements in various pressure applications. Their properties allow for clear visibility of liquid column changes, facilitating precise pressure assessments.
Dexron 3 is prefered.
On a 2000 Mercury Cougar : The brake fluid reservoir is also the clutch fluid reservoir
On a 1996 Mercury Mystique : The brake fluid reservoir is also the clutch fluid reservoir
At room temperature mercury is in a liquid state
it is the pressure difference between inlet and outlet of pump.
