Piezometer can measure only low pressure(gauge pressure).
Manometer can measure both low and high pressure.
Manometer can measure both low and high pressure.

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.

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

I think pressure gauge is used for high pressure and manometer is used for small pressure.

MY DEAR @M Purushotham BAROMETER use to measure ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE.

manometer is used to modrate pressure

My dear friends the manometer works on the principle of balancing the pressure by manometric fluid so if the pressure is low or moderate then the deflection detected would be very less & it may be possible that deflection will be negligible, so it is used to measure high pressure.

Manometer is used to measure low pressure n mechanical gauges for high pressure.

If high specific wt liquid is used in manometer like Hg difference of height in arms of manometer 760 mm will give 1 Kg/cm2. If water is used difference will be 13 times more. So I think it is used low pressure measurement.

How can we judge that if manometer liquid has less specific gravity like oil, water then reading will be more for less pressure difference between ambient and manometer end.
If specific gravity is more less amount of change in reading so small tube is enough to measure large pressure but not as large as mechanical gauges.
