piezometer
A piezometer is an instrument used for measuring fluid pressure. It often takes the form of a single piece of a tube, open at one end and inserted into a liquid, with the pressure difference being indicated by the height to which the liquid rises. It is typically used to measure liquid pressure within soil, groundwater, or geological or man-made structures.

Piezometer
A piezometer is either a device used to measure static liquid pressure in a system by measuring the height to which a column of the liquid rises against gravity, or a device which measures the pressure of groundwater at a specific point. A piezometer is designed to measure static pressures, and thus differs from a pitot tube by not being pointed into the fluid flow. Observation wells give some information on the water level in a formation, but must be read manually. Electrical pressure transducers of several types can be read automatically, making data acquisition more convenient.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Piezometer
pī-e-zom′e-tėr, n. an instrument for measuring the compressibility of liquids. [Gr. piezein, to press, metron, a measure.]
