1. manometer

   Pressure measurement is the measurement of an applied force by a fluid (liquid or gas) on a surface. Pressure is typically measured in units of force per unit of surface area. Many techniques have been developed for the measurement of pressure and vacuum. Instruments used to measure and display pressure mechanically are called pressure gauges, vacuum gauges or compound gauges (vacuum & pressure). The widely used Bourdon gauge is a mechanical device, which both measures and indicates and is probably the best known type of gauge. A vacuum gauge is used to measure pressures lower than the ambient atmospheric pressure, which is set as the zero point, in negative values (for instance, −1 bar or −760 mmHg equals total vacuum). Most gauges measure pressure relative to atmospheric pressure as the zero point, so this form of reading is simply referred to as "gauge pressure". However, anything greater than total vacuum is technically a form of pressure. For very low pressures, a gauge that uses total vacuum as the zero point reference must be used, giving pressure reading as an absolute pressure. Other methods of pressure measurement involve sensors that can transmit the pressure reading to a remote indicator or control system (telemetry).

1. manometer

   A manometer is a device used for measuring pressure in a fluid or gas by comparing it against a standard value. It typically consists of a U-shaped tube filled with a liquid like mercury or water, indicating the pressure by the difference in liquid levels within the tube. The pressure is determined based on the amount of liquid displaced, often used in fields like physics, engineering, and medicine.

1. Manometernoun

   an instrument for measuring the tension or elastic force of gases, steam, etc., constructed usually on the principle of allowing the gas to exert its elastic force in raising a column of mercury in an open tube, or in compressing a portion of air or other gas in a closed tube with mercury or other liquid intervening, or in bending a metallic or other spring so as to set in motion an index; a pressure gauge. See Pressure, and Illust. of Air pump

2. Etymology: [Gr. thin, rare + -meter: cf. F. manomtre.]
