There are several units in common usage. In the US they like "inches of Mercury" and "Paschals." Industrial types (especially those dealing in steam) like inches of WC (water column). Scientists like me prefer to use millimeters of mercury, or "atmospheres" (1 ATM= 760 mm Hg = 1 Torr). Take your pick!
