    1. The document describes different types of pressure measurement devices including mercury barometers, manometers, and hydraulic presses. 2. A mercury barometer measures atmospheric pressure by the height of a mercury column. A manometer uses two columns of liquid, usually mercury, to compare gas pressures. 3. Hydraulic presses use the principle that pressure is transmitted undiminished in all directions through a confined liquid. A small force applied over a large area can produce a large force over a small area.
