PRESSURE MEASUREMENT

It is from the Latin word pressura which means “action of pressing.”

Instruments used to measure and display pressure in an integral unit are

called____________.

• PRESSURE METER

• PRESSURE GAUGES

• VACUUM

  GAUGES

• all of the above

Who invented the mercury barometer, the first instrument to measure

atmospheric pressure.

The person who studied gases and introduced the concept of “latent heat” and

“specific heat,” contributing to the broader understanding of gas pressure.

• JAMES CLERK MAXWELL

• EVANGELISTA TORRICELLI

• JOSEPH BLACK

It describe the flow of fluids through porous media, which has implications for

pressure measurements in hydrology and engineering.

• DARCY’S LAW

• DIAPHRAGM PRESSURE GAUGES

• BOYLE’S LAW

• PRESSURE GAUGES

Used to measure gases and liquids. The diaphragm is mechanically connected to

the transmission mechanism which will amplify the small deflections of the

diaphragm and transfer them to the pointer.

• DIAPHRAGM PRESSURE GAUGES

• PRESSURE METER

• MANOMETER

Described the relationship between pressure and volume of gases, crucial for

understanding pressure in various conditions.

• BOYLE’S LAW

• DARCY’S LAW

• DIAPHRAGM PRESSURE GAUGES

• PRESSURE

Developed kinetic theory to describe the behavior of gases, linking molecular

motion to pressure and temperature.

• JOSEPH BLACK

• JAMES CLERK MAXWELL

• EVANGELISTA TORRICELLI

Modern pressure measurement systems incorporate wireless technology, smart

sensors, and advanced data analytics, providing real-time, low accuracy

measurements across numerous applications.

• True

• False

Pressure is defined as a force per unit area.
