Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is taken as 1 atmosphere for all intensive purposes.

Atmospheric pressure near to the surface of the earth is about 1 atm. If we go above it decreases and increases we move towards the center of the earth.

What are the two conditions in the atmosphere?

The two main conditions in the atmosphere are temperature and pressure. Temperature refers to the measure of how hot or cold the air is, while pressure is the force exerted by the weight of the air above. Together, these conditions play a crucial role in shaping weather patterns and climate.


Thermometer is to air pressure as what is to air pressure?

You asked the question wrong. The analogy was : Thermometer is to Temperature as Barometer is to Air Pressure.A meteorologist uses his Barometer to measure pressure in millibars, very small changes in the atmosphere's pressure. He uses the Thermometer to measure the air Temperature.


What weather instrument do meteorologists use to measure air pressure?

Meteorologists use a barometer to measure air pressure. A barometer can be either an aneroid or a mercury type and helps meteorologists predict changes in the weather based on differences in air pressure.


Torricelli invented a device for measuring air pressure called a(n)?

Torricelli invented a device for measuring air pressure called a mercury barometer. It consists of a glass tube filled with mercury placed in a dish of mercury. The height of the mercury in the tube changes with variations in atmospheric pressure.


How do you determine the atmospheric pressure using Boyle's law?

To determine atmospheric pressure using Boyle's law, you need to measure the volume and pressure of a gas when it is in equilibrium with the atmosphere. By rearranging Boyle's law equation (P1V1 = P2V2) and substituting the known values, you can solve for the atmospheric pressure. The initial pressure (P1) will be the pressure of the gas in the apparatus, and the final pressure (P2) will be the atmospheric pressure pushing on the gas.

What type of barometer used in aircraft?

Aircraft use an Aneroid Barometer, which uses a bellows and spring to measure changes in the earth's atmosphere from air pressure, unlike mercury or water barometers which use a liquid to measure these changes.


What is the function of manometers?

One of ends of the tube is used for pressure measurements, the other can be left open to the atmosphere to measure static pressure, or can be attached to the low end of a pressure system to measure differential pressure.

How can one effectively use a manometer to measure pressure?

To effectively use a manometer to measure pressure, first ensure the manometer is properly calibrated and zeroed. Next, connect one end of the manometer to the system or device where pressure is to be measured. The other end should be open to the atmosphere. The difference in fluid levels in the manometer will indicate the pressure. Read the measurement from the scale on the manometer to determine the pressure accurately.

Why is the negative port of a differential pressure transducer connects to the atmosphere?

Normally used on atmospheric tank for level measurement. One port is "free" for compensate the pressure of the air column (atmosphere) and measure only the pressure generated by the fluid in to the tank, so it can be converted in a level measure. Kin

To measure a pressure above atmospheric pressure you would use?

A pressure gauge or manometer is typically used to measure pressure above atmospheric pressure. These devices can accurately measure the pressure difference between the system being measured and atmospheric pressure.


Why was a barometer invented?

A barometer was invented to measure atmospheric pressure. This device is important for weather forecasting, as changes in atmospheric pressure can indicate upcoming weather conditions such as storms or fair weather.
