There are several options depending on the type of air pressure being measured:
- In the 1800's ships used a weather glass - a simple barometer - to measure changes in air pressure.
- To measure atmospheric (ambient air) pressure, a barometer is used. (It may be either an aneroid or a Mercury type of barometer.)
- For tires, it's a tire pressure gauge.
- In industrial processes and boilers the gauge is frequently called a manometer.
- For pressure vessels it is a Bourdon gauge.

What is the instrument used to determine air pressure is called?
The instrument used to determine air pressure is called a barometer. A simple barometer is a long glass tube filled with mercury that it turned upside down into another container filled with mercury.
What instrument measures cold fronts?
A barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure. It can measure the pressure exerted by the atmosphere by using water, air, or mercury. Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather. Numerous measurements of air pressure are used within surface weather analysis to help find surface troughs, high pressure systems, and frontal boundaries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometer#Applications
What instrument do we use to measure air pressur?
A barometer.
What is the function of a tire pressure gauge?
To measure air pressure.
What a barometer with Mercury?
barometers with mercury measure air pressure. when the air pressure is high the mercury rises
