A piezometer provided in the pipe measures__________________?
Correct answer: A. Static pressure
- A. Static pressure
- B. Friction factor
- C. Dynamic pressure
- D. None of these
Explanation
A piezometer measures the liquid's static pressure head, since the liquid rises in the tube without a velocity-pressure contribution. Dynamic pressure requires a device such as a Pitot tube.
