    The document defines key terms related to pressure measurement in civil engineering: 1) It defines atmospheric pressure, gauge pressure, and absolute pressure as the pressure exerted by the atmosphere, the excess pressure above atmosphere, and the total pressure referenced to a vacuum, respectively. 2) It also defines hydrostatic pressure and hydrostatic force as the pressure and force exerted by a fluid at equilibrium due to gravity. 3) Finally, it introduces piezometers, differential manometers, and inverted differential manometers as devices used to measure fluid pressure in pipes or small pressure differences.

    MILITARY TECHNOLOGICAL COLLEGE  

    MTCC3006 Introduction to Civil Engineering 

    Week 8: Pressure Measurement  

    Vocabulary 

    Atmospheric pressure: The pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere on a body. At sea level, 1 
    atmospheric pressure = 101.3 kPa. 

    Gauge pressure: The amount by which the pressure measured in a fluid exceeds that of atmospheric 
    pressure. 

    Absolute pressure: The pressure which is zero referenced against a perfect vacuum. It is equal to the 
    gauge pressure plus the atmospheric pressure. 

    Hydrostatic pressure: The pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point in the fluid due to 
    the force of gravity. 

    Hydrostatic force: The force exerted on a submerged body due to the pressure of a fluid at rest. 

    Piezometer: A device used to measure the pressure of a fluid in a pipe by measuring the height to which 
    the fluid will rise against gravity.  

     
     

    Differential manometer: A device which is used to measure the difference in pressure of a fluid at two 
    different places. The simplest differential manometer is U‐shaped. height of the high pressure and the 
    low pressure of a fluid in a pipe. 

    Inverted differential manometer: A device used to measure small pressure differences in fluids.
