 Using a Fortin or Kew Pattern mercury barometer
Fortin barometers should be used with their axis of rotation vertical - such that a setting of the mercury surface to the fiducial point remains correct after axial rotation through any angle.
The lower mercury surface in a Fortin barometer has to be set to a datum level before adjusting its vernier (see schematic diagram) and the accuracy of pressure measurement depends crucially upon proper setting.
To confirm proper setting, observe the point of contact at an angle of elevation of about 30° and determine whether or not the fiducial point is making an indentation in the mercury.
