Chap who finally encountered Queen in Tube under some pressure? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manometer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tube under some pressure?' is the definition.
(tube of liquid measuring pressure)

'chap who finally encountered queen in' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'Man' (chap can mean a man).
'finally' says to take the final letters.
'encountered queen in' becomes 'meter' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The final letter of 'who' is 'o'.
'man'+'o'+'meter'='MANOMETER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for manometer that I've seen is " Simple pressure gauge".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
