The answer should be c high pressure.

For low pressure, simple piezometer is used although it is a part of a manometer it is not called as piezometer manometer it is called a simple piezometer.

The modification in the piezometer gives you tube manometer and a single column manometer which are used to measure moderate and high pressure and also have the name manometer.

So in the question you tube and single column is hidden or we can say silent so manometer should be taken as you tube and single column because they have name manometer.


Thanks.

Manoneter is used for the pressure difference between two point which is low so hence here low pressure measurement is the right answer.

The answer should be the low pressure.

Manometers are used in wind tunnel and industries. Hence they measure high pressure.

If manometer is used to measure high pressure then why we use mechanical gauges like Bourdon pressure gauge. We generally use Bourdon pressure gauge in labs to measure high pressure.

So, guys, manometers are used to measuring low pressure or moderate pressure.

Piezometer is use to measure low or Moderate pressure either Manometer is use to measure High pressure or pressure at a point.

Barometer is used to measure Atmospheric pressure.

It is correct.

@Gautam Sahni.

We can measure high pressure by piezometer but for this, we should have large piezometer (2 meters, 3 meters or more) to measure high pressure and it should be installed in the vertical direction so it is difficult to take a reading for us. So we don't use piezometer to measure high pressure. Mechanical gauge is used to measure high pressure.

So the answer to the above question is A&B.

I hope now it is clear.

Manometer is used to measure.

1) High Pressure.
2) Vaccum Pressure.
3) pressure in pipes and channel, etc.

Piezometer is used to measure moderate pressure and manometer is used to measure high pressure or pressure in pipes and channels.

Piezometer used for measuring moderate pressures.
