Question

Which pressure instrument is used inweather networks?

(a) Bourdon tube pressure gauges

(b) Barometric sensor

(c) Piezoelectric pressure sensor

(d) Piezoresistive pressure sensor

This question was addressed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.

My question is from Pressure Measurement in a Fluid topic in division Fluid Flow Theory & Applications of Food Processing Unit Operations

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) Barometric sensor

Easiest explanation: Barometric sensoris used in weather networks. These sensors measure the fluctuations in the pressure exerted by atmosphere. They are enclosed with a data logger and is well protected from precipitation, water ingress and condensing humidity.
