Q

The gage most commonly used aboard ship to measure high pressures is the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Common shipboard pressure gauges used for steam, hydraulic, and high-pressure air systems • How a Bourdon tube works compared to diaphragm and liquid-type gauges • Typical use of resistance-temperature devices on ships

💭 Think About

• Think about which type of gauge is rugged and reliable enough for very high pressures found in main steam or high‑pressure hydraulic systems. • Which of these choices is actually used to measure temperature instead of pressure? • Which type is more often used for low pressure or delicate measurements rather than very high pressure?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is the standard mechanical pressure gauge you commonly see with a curved metal tube inside. • Eliminate any option that is primarily a temperature sensor, not a pressure gauge. • Consider which gauge type is most practical, durable, and widely installed for high pressure shipboard service.
