About This Product
A Fortin's barometer measures atmospheric pressure from the height of a mercury column. In the laboratory, the mercury height is read on the scale with the vernier, and the thermometer fitted on the instrument gives the temperature needed to correct the reading. It is suited to routine laboratory observations and weather study. This barometer is supplied without mercury, which has to be arranged separately.
