manometer
Noun: A manometer is a scientific instrument used to measure the pressure of a gas or, in some applications, a liquid. It typically consists of a U-shaped tube containing a liquid (like mercury or water), where the difference in the liquid's height between the two arms indicates the pressure difference.
A manometer is used to measure and compare gas pressures, often in laboratory, industrial, or medical settings. It is a specific type of pressure gauge. * The technician used a manometer to check the gas pressure in the pipeline. * In the physics lab, we calibrated the system using a mercury manometer.
- Differential Manometer: A manometer specifically designed to measure the in pressure between two points, rather than absolute pressure.
- A differential manometer showed a pressure drop across the filter.
- Manometric (adjective): Relating to or measured by a manometer.
- The manometric data was recorded every hour.
- Manometry (noun): The technique or process of measuring pressure, especially within a body cavity.
