measuring cpap pressure

How would you measure just how much pressure your cpap is putting out ?
I dont think mine is operating like it should be.
I know its measured in centimeters of water displacement, but is that per a certian diameter tube or what ?
I tried to build my own measuring tube but when I hook it up it only reads about 3.5 centimeters in a 1/4 tube.

I don't think that diameter matters. Doug H. 19:23 12/08/01 (0)
