Definition of manometer in English:

manometer

noun məˈnɒmɪtəməˈnɑmədər

An instrument for measuring the pressure acting on a column of fluid, consisting of a U-shaped tube of liquid in which a difference in the pressures acting in the two arms of the tube causes the liquid to reach different heights in the two arms.
Example sentencesExamples
- First invented in the seventeenth century, manometers are used to measure the pressure of gases.
- The combination of an inclined and a vertical manometer is very useful in air movement determination.
- One of the earliest measuring tools was a liquid-filled tube known as a manometer.
- The desktop manometer was developed to provide engineers immediate access to pressure sensor data.
- The contamination appeared to be mostly contained in a first-floor science classroom, where the silvery metal leaked from a manometer, a U-shaped glass device used to measure air pressure, Dieringer said.

Derivatives

manometric

adjective manəˈmɛtrɪkˌmænəˈmɛtrɪk

This was a major factor in their approach and explains why manometric measuring of distal pressure was not something that loomed large their thinking.
Example sentencesExamples
- Noiseless and compact, they are supplied with bottles and related manometric tubes, caps, rubber quivers and one set of 5 scales for every bottle.
- The manometric findings reflect the distinct functional components of the esophagus described above.
- However, a careful review of the entire test is essential for a proper interpretation of manometric results.
- However, manometric findings may reveal significant abnormalities in esophageal function without evidence of advanced disease in other areas.

Origin

Mid 18th century: from French manomètre, from Greek manos 'thin' + -mètre '(instrument) measuring'.

Rhymes

accelerometer, anemometer, barometer, gasometer, geometer, micrometer, milometer, olfactometer, optometer, pedometer, photometer, pyrometer, speedometer, swingometer, tachometer, thermometer
