Liquid levels in autoclaves are measured by ________________?

Correct answer: B. Differential float type manometer

  • A. Simple float
  • B. Differential float type manometer
  • C. Glass gauge
  • D. None of these

Explanation

An autoclave operates under pressure, so its liquid level is commonly inferred from the pressure difference across the liquid column using a differential float-type manometer. A simple float or glass gauge is less suitable for such a pressurised vessel.
