Hmm. . . 100mm hg =1.93367747 psi. So you're saying that when the pressure drops, the elements inside expand, pushing the pin further out of the cell. This makes sense to me, insofar as if you remove the cell entirely, the engine runs excessively rich. So when you climb in altitude the pressure drops and the pin extends, leaning out the mixture.
