Mercurial Barometer
Item Name Code (INC) 01072
 |
A barometer consisting of a column of mercury which rises and falls within a tube due to variations of atmospheric pressure.
Additional Information for Mercurial Barometer
A mercurial barometer, also known as a mercury barometer, is a device used to measure atmospheric pressure. It consists of a glass tube filled with mercury, which is inverted and placed in a container of mercury. The height of the mercury column in the tube changes with variations in atmospheric pressure.
The principle behind a mercurial barometer is based on the fact that atmospheric pressure exerted on the surface of the mercury in the container will cause the mercury in the tube to rise or fall. The height of the mercury column in the tube is a measure of the atmospheric pressure.
Mercurial barometers are often used in weather forecasting and meteorology to monitor changes in atmospheric pressure, which can indicate changes in weather patterns. They are also used in scientific research and in some industrial applications where accurate pressure measurements are required.
It is important to note that the use of mercury in barometers has declined due to environmental concerns, as mercury is a toxic substance. Nowadays, alternative types of barometers, such as aneroid barometers or digital barometers, are more commonly used.
