Therefore, extension of a known barometric pres-sure to another site beyond the spatial limits stated in 1.2 canbe accomplished by correction for height difference if thefollowing cr

Summary of Methods4.1 The instantaneous atmospheric pressure is measuredwith two types of barometers.4.2 Method A utilizes a Fortin mercurial barometer. Th

16、emercury barometer has the advantage of being fundamental inconcept and direct in response. The disadvantages of themercury barometer are the more laborious reading procedurethan the aneroid barometer, and the need for temperaturecorrection.4.3 Method B utilizes an aneroid barometer. The aneroidbaro

The maindisadvantages of the aneroid barometer are that it is notfundamental in concept as the mercury barometer, and itrequires calibrati

Significance and Use5.1 Atmospheric pressure is one of the basic variables usedby meteorologists to describe the state of the atmosphere.5.2 The measurement of atmospheric pressure is neededwhen differences from “standard” pressure conditions must beacc

19、ounted for in some scientific and engineering applicationsinvolving pressure dependent variables.5.3 These methods provide a means of measuring atmo-spheric pressure with the accuracy and precision comparable tothe accuracy and precision of measurements made by govern-mental meteorological agencies.

20、6. Apparatus6.1 Fortin Barometer, which is a mercurial barometer con-sisting of a glass tube containing mercury with an adjustablecistern and an index pointer projecting downward from the roofof the cistern. The mercury level may be raised or lowered byturning an adjustment screw beneath the cistern

22、marine application the error at a point must notexceed 650 Pa.6.1.3 Difference between errors over an interval of 10 000Pa or less 630 Pa.6.1.4 Accuracy must not deteriorate by more than 650 Paover a period of a year.6.1.5 It must be transportable without loss of accuracy.6.1.6 A mercurial barometer

It must be able to operate over ambient relativehumidities ranging from 0 to 100 %.6.1.7 A thermometer with a resolution of 0.11 K and aprecision and accurac

29、 installed inside an enclosedspace. The pressure in the space must, however, be directlycoupled to the pressure of the free atmosphere and notartificially affected by heating, ventilating, or air-conditioningequipment, or by the dynamic effects of wind passage.6.3.1 The Manual of Barometry (1)3descr

30、ibes these effects.For barometers with a static port they can be overcome with astatic pressure vent, such as that described by Gill (2), mountedoutside and beyond the influence of the building.

It may be impractical to locate a staticvent beyond this field

35、but the following considerations must bemade:6.3.2.1 The static vent must not be located on a side of thebuilding;6.3.2.2 The distance from the building must be as large aspractical;6.3.2.3 The length of the tube connecting the vent to thebarometer must be minimized;6.3.2.4 To avoid blockages, a ver

Safety Precautions7.1 Warning: Mercury is a hazardous substance that cancause illness and death. Inhalation of mercury vapor is a healthhazard, even in small

41、 quantities. Prolonged exposure canproduce serious mental and physical impairment. Mercury canalso be absorbed through the skin, so avoid direct contact. Theeffects are cumulative.7.2 Store mercury in closed, shatter-proof non-metalliccontainers to control its evaporation.7.3 Do not store or attempt

42、 to operate a mercurial barometerat temperatures below 235 K (-38C), the freezing point ofmercury.7.4 Work with mercury only in well-ventilated spaces,preferably under a fume hood or similar device. Use non-permeable rubber gloves at all times and wash hands immedi-ately after any operation involvin

43、g mercury. Exercise extremecare to avoid spilling mercury. Minimize the effect of spills byworking above a large shallow pan.7.5 Mercurial barometers should be installed only wherethere is adequate ventilation. The floor beneath a mercurialbarometer should be impermeable.7.6 In a mercurial barometer

44、, a broken tube, cistern, or bagwill release mercury. Immediately clean up any spills usingprocedures recommended explicitly for mercury. Carefullycollect, place, and seal all spilled mercury in an appropriatecontainer. Do not re-use; dispose of spilled mercury andmercury contaminated materials in a

45、 safe, environmentallyacceptable manner.8. Calibration and Standardization8.1 A barometer is calibrated by comparing it with asecondary standard traceable to one of the primary standards atlocations listed in Table 2.8.2 For the United States this standard is maintained by theNational Institute of S
