    Question

    Which of the following is used to measure the difference in pressures between two points in a pipe or in two different pipes?

    A.

    Orifice meter

    B.

    Piezometer

    C.

    Differential manometer

    D.

    Single column manometer

    Correct option is C


    A differential manometer is a device used to measure the difference in pressures between two points in a pipe or between two different pipes. It works by comparing the pressure difference using a liquid column, typically mercury or water, and provides an accurate reading of the pressure differential.
    Explanation of other options:
    Orifice meter: This is used to measure the flow rate of a fluid through a pipe, not the pressure difference.
    Piezometer: A piezometer is used to measure static pressure in a fluid at a specific point but cannot measure the difference in pressure between two points.
    Single column manometer: While this device measures pressure, it is not specifically designed for comparing the pressure between two points like a differential manometer.
    Thus, the correct answer is (c) Differential manometer.
