Which instrument is specified as being used to measure pressure on hose testing equipment?

• A. Pressure Gauges
• B. Thermometers
• C. Anemometers
• D. Hydrometers

Answer: (A)

Measuring pressure on hose testing equipment requires a device that directly reads the pressure in the system. A pressure gauge provides this reading, showing the pressure in units like psi or kPa and allowing you to verify that the hose holds the tested pressure within the specified limits, detect leaks, and keep the test within safe parameters. Other instruments don’t measure pressure: a thermometer gauges temperature, an anemometer measures wind speed, and a hydrometer assesses liquid density. Therefore, for hose pressure testing, the instrument of choice is a pressure gauge, chosen with the appropriate range and proper calibration to give accurate, real-time readings during the test.
