Mcleod gauge measures the _____________ pressure?
Correct answer: B. Sub-atmospheric
- A. Positive
- B. Sub-atmospheric
- C. Very high
- D. Atmospheric
Explanation
A McLeod gauge traps a known volume of gas and compresses it with mercury, allowing measurement of vacuum pressures below atmospheric pressure. It is therefore used for sub-atmospheric pressure.
