Methods of Measuring High Pressures

  • Chapter
Handbook of Techniques in High-Pressure Research and Engineering

Abstract

Pressure is force applied to a unit of area. The most widely used pressure unit is the atmosphere (normal [standard] or physical atmosphere), equal to the pressure of a column of mercury 760 mm high on an area of 1 cm2 with mercury density 13.5951 g/cm3 (at 0°C) and an acceleration of gravity equal to 980.665 cm/sec2. The weight of such a mercury column is 1.033 kg. Thus, a normal atmosphere (n. atm.) corresponds to 1.033 kg/cm2.
