Question

A manometer is generally used to measure

• A. moderate pressure
• B. high pressure
• C. low pressure
• D. atmospheric pressure

Answer 1

Answer:

B. high pressure

anometers are used to measure the difference in pressure between two points or between a certain point and the atmosphere. They are needed for measuring large gauge pressures, such as high pressure. A simple manometer consists of a glass tube with one end connected to the point where pressure is to be measured and the other end open to the atmosphere.
