A manometer is a pressure gauge, "Manometer" reads extremely low pressures that are very close to atmospheric pressures, "pressure gauges" read much larger pressures.

Difference between pressure gauge and vacuum gauge?
A pressure gauge measures blow, a vacuum gauges measures suck
Can you see the difference between a wet and a dry standpipe system?
Yes you can. A dry standpipe system has an air pressure and a water gauge the air pressure gauge is normally found on the top or the (pressure side) the water gauge is normally located on the bottom under the air pressure gauge or the (supply side)
What is the difference between a 20 gauge and a 12 gauge?
The size of the bore.
What is difference between 16 and 18 gauge steel?
16 gauge is thicker than 18 gauge.
What is the difference between a 12 gauge shotgun and a 20 gauge?
Size of bore, size of ammuntion
What is micro manometer?
A manometer is a pressure gauge. A micro manometer is either a really small pressure gauge, or a pressure gauge used to measure really small pressure difference.
What is micro manometer pressure?
A manometer is a pressure gauge. A micro manometer is either a really small pressure gauge, or a pressure gauge used to measure really small pressure difference.
A Bourdon tube is often found in a?
Manometer or pressure gauge.
Which amongst Bourdon's pressure gauge and manometer is preferred?
Bourdon gauge
What is the use of you shaped manometer?
A "U" shaped manometer is used to measure differences in pressure between the two ends. If one end is open to the atmosphere, it measures the difference between atmospheric pressure and the pressure where the other end is connected. When one end is evacuated and sealed it measures the difference between the vapor pressure of the manometer fluid (which is usually negligible) and the pressure of whatever the other end is connected to. When connected to two different locations along a pipe, it measures the pressure drop. If a constriction is placed in the pipe, this can be used to gauge the flow rate in the pipe.
What is the difference between normal pressure gauge and differential pressure gauge?
A pressure gauge indicates actual pressure and a differential pressure gauge indicates the difference in pressure.
U-tube manometer is classified as a?
differential pressure gauge.
What instrument measures tire pressure?
manometer Commonly called a tire pressure gauge.
What instrument measures the pressure in an enclosed container of gas?
A manometer is an instrument that can be used to measure the pressure in an enclosed container that is filled with gas. The manometer is sometimes called a pressure gauge.
What is compound manometer?
Compound Manometer is an 'U' Tube manometer having 'T' joints at appropriate equal elevation in the columns of U tube manometer where the impulse lines are to be connected to measure Differential Pressure. T joint allows the use Two liquids simultaneously in the manometer. i.e. the liquid who's differential pressure is to be measured being lighter it will gauge at the top and a heavier liquid which does not dissolve with the lighter fluid will gauge at the bottom. Elevation difference in lighter liquid as well as heavier liquids gives their respective differential pressure. Both the differential pressure will be equal in terms of Pressure Units. Since two liquids are used simultaneously this type of U tube manometer is called Compound Manometer.
Difference between pressure gauge and vacuum gauge?
A pressure gauge measures blow, a vacuum gauges measures suck
What is an open arm manometer?
It is a type of manometer, an object used to measure the pressure of different things, and the open armed manometer allows for the atmospheric pressure in the tube of the manometer. So the sample gas pressure pushes on the mercury that is already being pushed on by the atmospheric pressure. Then you add the atmospheric pressure to the change in the mercury (in mm) and that gives you your pressure. It's like a tire gauge.
