1-Which pressure measuring device would you recommend to someone who needs to measure the pressure in a home gas cylinder before usage, and why?
2- Which pressure measuring device would you recommend to someone who needs to measure the pressure of a vacuum cleaner, and why?
1. I recommend U-tube monometer to measure the pressure of the gas cylinder. Because U-tube monometer is measure the gauge pressure of the cylinder. We can use the gas up to the inside pressure of the cylinder is equal to atmospheric pressure. So we should measure gauge pressure of the cylinder and gauge pressure of the cylinder is measured by the U-tube monometer.
2. I recommend vacuum gauge to measure the pressure of the vacuum cleaner. Because vacuum gauge measure the vacuum pressure. It means how much pressure is law with respect to atmospheric pressure. It is batter to use vacuum gauge to compare the different pressure of the vacuum cleaner.
