What device or instrument is used to measure air pressure?

Answer 1

If you're asking about a tool to measure the air pressure in a car tire, that is called a pressure guage.

If you're asking about a scientific instrument to measure atmospheric air pressure, it is called a barometer.

Answer 2

There are several options depending on the type of air pressure being measured:

• In the 1800's ships used a weather glass - a simple barometer - to measure changes in air pressure.
• To measure atmospheric (ambient air) pressure, a barometer is used. (It may be either an aneroid or a Mercury type of barometer.)
• For tires, it's a tire pressure gauge.
• In industrial processes and boilers the gauge is frequently called a manometer.
• For pressure vessels it is a Bourdon gauge.

Answer 3

The instruments to measure air pressure in the ambient surroundings include:

• a mercury barometer
• ananeroid barometer
• a weather glass

Air pressure can also be measured in containers (auto tyres and tanks). These measurements utilize:

• Bourdon gauges
• Diaphragm gauges
• Spring gauges (Like tyre pressure gauges)
• Piezoelectric gauges

Answer 4

A tool that measures air pressure in a tire or going through a pipe is called an air pressure gauge.

Answer 5

The instrument used to measure air pressure is barometer. It is a scientific instrument used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.

Answer 6

The instrument used to measure air pressure is barometer.

Answer 7

Plastic Bag or any object that can be inflated.

Answer 8

Answer 9

it is a barometer

Answer 10
