hydrostatic pressure
A hydrostatic balance is a particular balance for weighing substances in water.
A to Z Guide to White-Tailed Deer and Deer Hunting, Randall Gilbert, 2003, Woods N’ Water, Inc., p. 106 Dave Ehrig expresses the view that hydrostatic shock depends on impact velocities above convert per second.
Aneroid gauges are not dependent on the type of gas being measured, unlike thermal and ionization gauges, and are less likely to contaminate the system than hydrostatic gauges.
"Aneroid" means "without fluid," and the term originally distinguished these gauges from the hydrostatic gauges described above.
Another gauge is used to measure the hydrostatic pressure, usually expressed as a depth of sea water.
