For the use of a mercury column for precise pressure measurements—such as the pressurized 30 meter mercury‐in‐steel column used at the Van der Waals–Zeeman Laboratory for the calibration of piston gauges up to nearly 300 MPa—it is highly important to have accurate knowledge of such properties of mer...
