A manometer measures mechanical or thermodynamic pressure?

[QUOTE="nanunath, post: 6058517, member: 186869"] Hi guys, I have two questions as follows, ofcourse they may seem too basic, I have read through certain texts (engineering) but I still haven't been able to actually physically understand, so asked here 1) Whats thermodynamic pressure w.r.t physical point of view? - for a gas from thermodynamics I know its the force per unit area that an imaginary small face would experience at a point in the gas Is this valid for the thermodynamic pressure at a point in a fluid (not necessarily gas)? 2) Which pressure does a manometer / or any pressure sensor measure? I'm know that thermodynamic pressure = mechanical pressure for in compressible flow or stokian fluid, but that's not my question. I want to know which is actually the pressure that my manometer is measuring - thermodynamic or mechanical pressure? [/QUOTE]
