The common method to measure atmospheric pressure employs an inverted column submerged in a fluid to determine the level at which the column has to be raised to equalize the external atmospheric pressure and the internal column pressure. The height at which the fluid inside the column ceases to increase is correlated to atmospheric pressure. Due to Mercury's high density, this level is on the order of inches (~30 inches of mercury at atmospheric pressure). If water were to be used the column would have to be ~32 feet tall in order to develop the equalized pressures between the column and atmosphere.
What else can I help you with?
How does the tomomoter work?
A barometer measures atmospheric pressure by using a column of mercury to indicate changes in pressure. As air pressure changes, it moves the mercury up or down in a tube. This movement is then converted into a numerical value representing the atmospheric pressure.
What doesnot cause the height of mercury column to vary?
A change in the material of the container holding the mercury does not cause the height of the mercury column to vary. The height of the mercury column is determined by the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the mercury in the container.
What is the average barometric pressure in Chicago?
The average barometric pressure in Chicago is around 29.98 inches of mercury or 1015 millibars. This value can vary depending on weather conditions and atmospheric patterns.
What is the standard value for air pressure?
The standard value for air pressure at sea level is around 1013.25 millibars, or 29.92 inches of mercury (inHg).
If the absolute pressure of gas is?
Absolute pressure is simply the addition of the observed gage pressure plus the value of the local atmospheric pressure.

What is the value of normal atmospheric pressure of oxygen?
The standard atmospheric pressure is the air pressure of 101325 pascals (Pa) or 101.325 kilopascals (kPa) (1013.25 millibars), exerted by a 760 millimeter (29.92 inches) column of mercury at sea level at a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius.

A change in the material of the container holding the mercury does not cause the height of the mercury column to vary. The height of the mercury column is determined by the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the mercury in the container.

How do you measure the atmosphere pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is commonly measured using a barometer. A mercury barometer measures pressure by the height of a mercury column in a glass tube, while an aneroid barometer uses a flexible metal box to detect pressure changes. Both types of barometers provide a numerical value in units such as millibars or inches of mercury.
What does 29.92 HG mean?
29.92 inches of mercury (inHg) is a standard measurement of atmospheric pressure, commonly used in meteorology. It represents the pressure exerted by a column of mercury that is 29.92 inches high at sea level. This value is often used as a reference point for barometric pressure, indicating standard atmospheric conditions. In aviation and weather reporting, it helps determine altimeter settings and forecast weather patterns.
What is absolute pressure?
Absolute pressure is simply the addition of the observed gage pressure plus the value of the local atmospheric pressure.
What is the value of atmospheric pressure?
about 100,000 newton per metre square. =)
What is the mean of 760mm of hg?
760 mm Hg is the standard barometric (atmospheric) pressure. It is the pressure giving a pillar of mercury (the elemental abbreviation of mercury is Hg) that is 760 millimeters (mm) high.
The value of atmospheric pressure at Johannesburg?
The average atmospheric pressure in Johannesburg is around 860 hPa (hectopascals). This can vary depending on weather conditions and altitude.
Is that the value for absolute pressure will always be greater than for gauge pressure?
No. We need to know exactly what is meant by gage here. A piston tyre gauge measures pressures relative to atmospheric. A mercury barometer measures absolute pressure. A gauge that involves uncoiling of a coiled tube will measure absolute pressure (it will have to be calibrated). But a manometer which is open to the atmosphere on one arm will measure pressures relative to atmospheric pressure so the real pressure is the two added together.
What is 760 mm atmospheric pressure?
760 mm Hg is 1 atmosphere, so approx 1 bar. It is 1.013 bar, which is 1013 milibars.
