Working principle of manometer comprises of balancing a coloumn of liquid against the pressure to be measured. Inclined tube manometer is especially used for the measurement of ______________ pressure?

Correct answer: A. Small differential

  • A. Small differential
  • B. Atmospheric
  • C. Absolute
  • D. Gage

Explanation

The elongated liquid column in an inclined manometer produces a larger readable displacement for a small pressure difference. It is therefore especially useful for measuring small differential pressures rather than atmospheric or absolute pressure.
