What is a device for measuring atmostpheric pressure?
The most usual devices are barographs and barometers. A barometer can work off an aneroid cell (eg digital aneroid barometer) or a column of mercury (eg Kew Pattern barometer). Barographs usually work off aneroid cells and through a linkage system print the pressure onto a chart (usually changed weekly although there are daily barometers as well). So the main difference is that a barometer gives a spot reading while the barograph is continuous, although it's possible for the readings from a digital barometer like one connected to an Automatic Weather Station to be saved and called up later, or even printed out in graph form. The usual unit for air pressure in meteorological circles is the hectoPascal (hPa) which replaced the millibar some years ago (the units have the same numerical value, though) except for the US which sticks with the old inches of mercury (InHg).
What two units are commonly used to measure air pressure?
Probably a mercury barometer and a aneroid barometer. -adrian
Which liquid is used in an aneroid barometer a mercury b alcohol c none?
mercury
What is an aneroid barometer called?
Well, an aneroid barometer, is called an aneroid barometer- but, a barometer measures air pressure, and an aneroid barometer is a barometer that contains no liquid.
Which statement accurately describes a difference between a mercury barometer and an aneroid barometer?
One statement to accurately describe a difference between a mercury barometer and an aneroid barometer is that a mercury barometer is a closed tube containing mercury. An aneroid barometer is a closed, flexible container of gas.
How does an aneroid barometer measure atmospheric pressure?
A barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure. It can measure the pressure exerted by the atmosphere by using water, air, or mercury.An aneroid barometer is a barometer which measures pressure without using fluids!An aneroid barometer is somewhat different and uses a sealed chamber upon which the fluctuating atmospheric pressure acts. Through mechanical means a pointer is moved on a calibrated scale.
What is the difference between Mercury barometer and a aneroid barometer?
their spelling is different.
What is the difference between the aneroid barometer and a mercury barometer?

What 2 instruments commonly used to measure air pressure?

Types of Barometers?
anaeriod barometer and a mercury barometer
Instrument that measures air pressure without using a liquid?

Does a mercury barometer or aneroid barometer measure air pressure?
mercury has a sudden fall and then the barometter measure it and when i mean by fall i mean air pressure so yeah it's cool I knoe it doesn't make sense but Im just writing this anyway. Even though it's pure glorius silly you know what. I PUT THAT WORD BUT THEY WON'T LET ME POST THIS STUPID ANSWER
What instruments are used to measure the atmospheric pressure?
Usually the instrument used is called a barometer- which could be a closed end manometer or an aneroid barometer.An altimeter actually also measures atmospheric pressures - but for a different purpose.
