Topic: Metrology and Inspection

Which of the following pressure gauge is generally used for the calibration of other pressure measuring gauges

  • A. Bourdon's tube pressure gauge
  • B. Diaphragm pressure gauge
  • C. Dead weight pressure gauge
  • D. Manometer gauge

Answer: C. Dead weight pressure gauge

Explanation: A dead weight pressure gauge (dead weight tester) serves as a primary standard for pressure measurement. Since it uses known weights subjected to a known area to verify fluid pressure, it is widely utilized for the precise calibration of other pressure measuring gauges.
