Filling my McLeod manometer w/Hg (how much)

organicchemist25 - 29-10-2017 at 20:34

Hey, Ive had a new McLeod manometer for a couple years and finally wanting to fill it up and start using it.

Ive read it should be triple distilled mercury?

Is there a approximate level or do you just eyeball it when its around the 760 mmHg and slide the gauge a tiny bit if needed?? I haven't seen anything online about it and unable to find a manual online. If I cant get any resolution by tomorrow Ill call Ace glass.

Other than that I got it covered Im pretty sure. Just the amount is what I am uncertain of.

Thanks
