pressure, typically the pressure of a gas or liquid in a closed container. It works by comparing the pressure of a fluid with the local atmospheric pressure to determine the difference. This difference is often displayed on a scale to provide a quantitative pressure measurement.

A manometer is a device which measures pressure.It is a U-shaped tube filled with Mercury with one end connected to atmospheric air and the other end connected to a vessel containing a gas of unknown pressure.When the valve is opened,the mercury moves towards the direction where the pressure is higher or lower.The difference in the height of the air columns is used to determine the pressure.
