Noun
Context #1 | Noun

measuring instrument

A manometer is a device used to measure the pressure of gases or liquids. It typically consists of a tube filled with a liquid, such as mercury or water, and the pressure is determined by the height of the liquid column. Manometers can be used in various applications, including HVAC systems, laboratories, and industrial processes. They come in several types, including U-tube manometers, digital manometers, and barometers. The choice of manometer depends on the specific requirements of the measurement task.

Synonyms

barometer, pressure gauge, pressure meter

Examples of usage

  • The technician used a manometer to check the gas pressure in the system.
  • In the lab, we relied on a digital manometer for accurate readings.
  • A U-tube manometer is simple yet effective for measuring small pressure differences.

Etymology

The word 'manometer' originates from the Greek words 'manos', meaning 'thin' or 'slender', and 'metron', meaning 'measure'. It was first used in the early 17th century to describe devices that measure pressure. The concept of measuring pressure dates back to the work of scientists like Evangelista Torricelli, who created the barometer in 1643. Over the years, the design and function of manometers evolved, with advancements in materials and technology leading to more accurate and varied forms. The manometer became a crucial instrument in fields such as physics, engineering, and meteorology, facilitating the understanding of pressure in different contexts.
