In manometers there are different types of classification:
1. Simple Manometers:
A) Piezometer - Measures Low or moderate pressure.
B) U-Tube - Measures pressure at a point.
C) Single column Manometer - Measures pressure at a point (accurate).
2. Differential Manometers:
Measure pressure differences between a two point.

I think manometer is used to measure the low pressure and measure of high pressure the pressure gauge.

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.

Manometer is used of measure low pressure.

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

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.

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.

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