Abstract
It is wellknown that Knudsen forces can be used for measuring low gas pressures and that buoyancy forces can be used for measuring higher gas pressures. An experiment is described where these two forces were studied simultaneously and from the results conclusions are drawn on the possibility of designing a wide range manometer.
