That the pressure on two sides of a non-permeable barrier has been made equal on both sides.
Through free air travel between the middle ear and nasal passage via the Eustachean Tube.

What is the purpose of an externally equalized thermal expansion valve?

compensates for excessive evaporator pressure drop


When you are landing in an airplane does the air pressure increase or decrease?

It increases. In an unpressurized airplane, the pressure increases because the air is denser at lower altitudes. In a pressurized airplane, the pressure increases both because the pressure must be equalized before the doors can open and because the hull is not designed to withstand an outside pressure higher than the inside pressure.


Does tornadoes low air pressure often make houes explode?

No. That is a myth. The fast-moving winds and flying debris of a tornado are what destroy houses. The pressure difference produced by a tornado is not enough to cause significant damage, and is equalized pretty quickly anyway.


What is gauze pressure?

If you mean "guage pressure," it is the pressure of a fluid minus the atmospheric pressure.


Why do pen lids have a hole in the top?

To keep the pressure equalized. If you have a pen with no hole, and were to take it up in an airplane, or even to the top of a building, the pressure difference could cause the ink to flow out of the pen creating a mess and making writing really messy. There is a hole in the body of the Compressed polystyrene to equalise atmospheric pressure, for the reasons stated above, however the hole in the top of the lid is to prevent children for sucking the lid into their throat, subsequently this provides an air passage in such a case.

Is the pressure on the earth's crust equalized?

No, pressure on the crust of the earth is not equalized. We have plate tectonics and the shifts associated with tensions between the plates acting to cause uplift at convergent boundaries and rifting as divergent boundaries as just two examples. A link is provided below.

Does the cochlea keep both sides of the eardrum equal?

No. The cochlea transmit sound from the eardrum. The Eustachian tubes keep the pressure inside the ear equalized with the external pressure.


Why is air pressure important to force?

Possibly. It depends on what you are designing. Generally, air pressure is equalized thoughtout a structure such as a house or something like a car. If you are designing something that is sealed then the outside pressure can be different from the internal pressure.


Do ossicles equalize pressure?

No, auditory ossicles amplify and transmit sound vibrations. The auditory tube is the place where the air pressure in the middle ear can be equalized by bringing air in from or out to the pharynx or throat.


How much atmospheric pressure is exerted on one square inch of earth?

14.7 pounds. Atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch Keep in mind that unless air is trapped you do not feel this as pressure is equalized


Pressure is equalized on both sides of the tympanic membrane of the ear through a structure called the?

The Eustachian tube is also known as the auditory tube. Its main function is to maintain equal pressure on both sides of the tympanic membrane.
