pressure gauge
Force per area indicator
A pressure gauge is an instrument that measures the pressure of a gas or liquid in a container or system.
The most common type uses a curved tube that straightens under pressure, moving a needle across a dial: Check the pressure gauge on the boiler.
Tire pressure gauges measure air pressure in vehicle tires.
