What's the difference between manometer and monometer?

Manometer


Definition:

  • (n.) An instrument for measuring the tension or elastic force of gases, steam, etc., constructed usually on the principle of allowing the gas to exert its elastic force in raising a column of mercury in an open tube, or in compressing a portion of air or other gas in a closed tube with mercury or other liquid intervening, or in bending a metallic or other spring so as to set in motion an index; a pressure gauge. See Pressure, and Illust. of Air pump.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The use of a water manometer would have caused overestimation of the intravascular volume status of this patient during the nodal rhythm.
  • (2) The type of manometer, cuff size, and cuff placement are also important factors in obtaining accurate blood pressure readings.
  • (3) (2) Tympanometrically measured middle ear pressure (MEP) was almost equivalent to the actual MEP recorded by a manometer when the tympanic membrane was normal.
  • (4) The animals were chronically instrumented with a microtip manometer in the left ventricle, two pairs of piezoelectric crystals for sonomicrometry and a hydraulic occluder around the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery and arterial and venous catheters.
  • (5) An air chamber attached to a Hg-manometer has in an upper wall a round window 8 mm in diameter, closed by a 0.05 mm-thick rubber membrane.
  • (6) To stop the arteriolar flow and allow perfusion pressure, as set by a mercury manometer, to be built up in the lumen of the vessel, the glomerulus was sucked into a constriction pipette.
  • (7) Compared with the manometer, none of the tonometers accurately measured IOP over the range between 0 and 100 mm of Hg.
  • (8) The bag pressure differed significantly from the infusor pressure as the blood bag emptied, making the usefulness of the infusor manometer questionable.
  • (9) These variables were recorded by means of a double-lumen catheter introduced in the aorta of four anesthetized closed chest dogs, and connected to critically damped manometer systems.
  • (10) The external pressure was measured by a small airfilled plastic cushion connected to a mercury manometer.
  • (11) Additionally, Pao can be easily and accurately measured by a slowly responding mechanical manometer.
  • (12) In the cases of 10 cardially healthy humans and 5 patients with heart disease, the left ventricular pressure as well as different parameters of contractility - deduced from the pressure curve and its first derivative - were determined by a catheter-tip manometer (Statham SF - 1).
  • (13) The performances were recorded with an intraventricular balloon equipped with a tip-manometer catheter.
  • (14) Haemodynamic variables were measured with the Mills combined left ventricular catheter-tip manometer and aortic electromagnetic blood velocity transducer.
  • (15) A mercury-in-glass manometer (sphygmomanometer) is used to measure the gas pressure proximal to a flow restrictor (consisting of a hypodermic needle hub) and it is this pressure head which, for a given gas, dictates the flow produced.
  • (16) A procedure is described for generating alkali in a closed manometer vessel, by mixing mercuric oxide and a solution of sodium iodide, for use in a method for measuring the oxygen consumption at physiological bicarbonate concentrations.
  • (17) This manometer was only visible to the investigator.
  • (18) Two lots of the commercial myelogram trays yielded nonviable gram-negative bacilli from 50% of the specimen tubes and 33.3% of the manometers tested.
  • (19) The oscillometric test instrument and a standard mercury manometer were connected with a Y tube.
  • (20) Data were obtained from nine dogs chronically instrumented with three sets of piezoelectric diameter gauges to assess ventricular volume and high-fidelity manometers to measure pressure.

Monometer


Definition:

  • (n.) A rhythmic series, consisting of a single meter.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The largest rotational unit in these complexes has ph = 60 ns for both proteins; by comparison, the monometic human apo-A-I has a ph = 73.5 ns.
  • (2) The role of dimer-monometer equilibrium in the biological function of collagenase is discussed.
