Cool idea: NIST’s Daniel Barker, Steve Eckel, Jim Fedchak, Julia Scherschligt and colleagues have developed and tested a technique that uses cold atoms to measure ultralow pressures. (Courtesy: NIST) ...

Vacuum technology is used in a wide range of industries, and proper use depends on accurate measurement devices, or gauges. Vacuum gauges work by detecting changes in pressure and converting those ...

Pressure is the amount of force applied per unit area. Pressure can be measured by a pressure gauge, but it is important to know the type of pressure the gauge is reading. This article will cover the ...

Setting up a pressure control process involves choosing between absolute pressure and gauge pressure. For a number of applications the choice could be to stick to an established convention, however ...
