The device used to measure fluid pressure is called a **manometer** or, in many cases, a **pressure gauge**.
- **Manometer**: This instrument typically consists of a U-shaped tube filled with a liquid (such as mercury or water), and it measures pressure by comparing the height of the liquid in the two arms of the tube.
- **Pressure Gauge**: This is a more general term for devices that measure and display pressure. There are various types of pressure gauges, including mechanical gauges (like Bourdon tube gauges) and electronic gauges.
Both devices are commonly used in various applications to measure the pressure of gases or liquids in industrial and scientific settings.
