Pressure Measurements Tools Quiz

What is the primary function of a manometer?

• Measuring time

• Measuring pressure

• Measuring temperature

• Measuring distance

Which type of pressure gauge uses a curved tube to measure pressure?

• Manometer

• Bourdon tube pressure gauge

• Diaphragm pressure gauge

• Piston pressure gauge

What is the purpose of a piezometer in pressure measurement?

• To calculate the volume of a fluid

• To measure the pressure at a specific point in a fluid

• To determine the viscosity of a fluid

• To measure the temperature of a fluid

What unit is typically used to measure pressure in a barometer?

• feet of water (ftH2O)

• inches of mercury (inHg) or millibars (mb)

• pounds per square inch (psi)

• meters of mercury (mHg)

How does a manometer measure pressure?

• By measuring the temperature of the gas

• By comparing the pressure of a fluid in a column to the pressure of the gas or vapor being measured.

• By counting the number of gas particles

• By analyzing the color of the gas

What is the working principle of a Bourdon gauge?

• Expansion of a gas at high pressure

• Conduction of electricity through a metal wire

• Elastic deformation of a curved tube

• Refraction of light through a prism

In which industry is a piezometer commonly used for pressure measurement?

• Astronomy

• Geotechnical and civil engineering

• Fashion

• Agriculture

What are the different types of barometers?

• Altimeter and manometer

• Mercury barometer and aneroid barometer

• Wind vane and rain gauge

• Thermometer and hygrometer

What are the advantages of using a manometer over other pressure measurement tools?

• Manometers can only measure positive pressures

• Manometers are not reliable for pressure measurements

• Manometers provide accurate and precise pressure measurements, are easy to use, and can measure both positive and negative pressures.

• Manometers are difficult to use and provide inaccurate pressure measurements

Explain the construction and working of a Bourdon gauge.

• The Bourdon gauge is constructed with a flat tube that expands as pressure increases

• The Bourdon gauge works by using a curved tube that straightens out as pressure increases, which is then indicated on a dial.

• The Bourdon gauge operates by using a digital sensor to detect pressure changes

• The Bourdon gauge works by using a series of gears to measure pressure
