Default Altimeter Calibration Height

You mean like pressure loss of the long length or something?

The conditions inside the tube are different from the conditions outside
the tube. I expect they'd be very similar, but given a very long, very
insulated tube, which starts out with (say) dry air, followed by the
passage of a moist front, there would be a difference.
