The manometer is used to high pressure for liquid & low pressure for gases. So manometer measure pressure low & high both.
Piezometer is measure low or moderate positive gauge pressure.
Piezometer is measure low or moderate positive gauge pressure.

1. Simple monometer- high pressure.
2. Piezometer- low pressure (also called low pressure monometer).
3. u tube monometer- can measure vaccume pressure or negative pressure.

Manometer can use for for low pressure but mostly it's used for high pressure measurement and don't compare it with phyzometer that's valid for only liquid not for gas.

A piezometer is not suitable for low or high pressure. It is not suitable for gas pressure.
It is an instrument for measuring the pressure of a liquid.

Yes. Piezometer is used for low and moderate pressures, manometer for high pressure and barometer for atmospheric pressure (barometric pressure).

Dear friends piezometer is used to measure moderate pressure and manometer is used to measure high pressure or pressure in pipes and channels.

Piezometer for low and moderate pressure, manometer for high pressure, pressure in vacuum and pipes and barometer for atmospheric pressure.

Manometers are used to measure low and moderate pressure. Mechanical gauges are used to measure high pressure.
Correct me if I am wrong.

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

Guys answer should be option A. As manometer is use to measure low pressure and barton meter bridge is use to measure high pressure.
