-A
A very simple device used to measure pressure is the manometer a fluid-filled
fluid tube
where an applied gas pressure causes the fluid height to shift proportionately. This is why
pressure is often measured in units of liquid height (e.g. inches of water, inches of
mercury).
-As
As you can see, a manometer is fundamentally aan instrument of differential pressure
measurement, indicating the difference between two pressures by a shift in liquid column
height
-MANOMETER
MANOMETER PRINCIPLE
-The
The manometer, one of the earliest pressure measuring instruments, when used properly
is very accurate. NIST recognizes the U tube manometer as a primary standard due to its
inherent accuracy and simplicity of operatio
operation. The manometer has no moving parts
subject to wear, age, or fatigue. Manometers operate on the Hydrostatic Balance
Principle: a liquid column of known height will exert a known pressure when the weight
per unit volume of the liquid is known.
-In
In all forms of manometers (U tubes, well
well-types,
types, and inclines) there are two liquid
surfaces.
-Pressure
Pressure determinations are made by how the fluid moves when pressures are applied to
each surface. For gauge pressure, P2 is equal to zero (atmospheric reference), simplifying
the equation to
p= pgh

U TUBE MANOMETERS
The principles of manometry are most easily demonstrated in the U tube manometer
shown in Figure l.
It is simply a glass tube bent to form the letter U and partially filled with some liquid.
With both legs of the
he instrument open to atmosphere or subjected to the same pressure,
the liquid maintains exactly the same level or a zero reference.
As illustrated in Figure 2, if a pressure is applied to the left side of the instrument, the
fluid recedes in the left leg and raises in the right leg.
The fluid moves until the unit weight of the flu id as indicated by H exactly balances the
pressure.
This is known as hydrostatic balance. The height of fluid from one surface to the other is
the actual height of fluid opposing the pressure.
DIAGRAM:

The pressure is always the height of fluid from one surface to the other regardless of the
shape or Size of the tubes, as illustrated in Figure 3. The left-hand.
Manometer
anometer has a uniform tube, the center one has an enlarged leg and the right-hand
right one
has a irregular leg.
Manometers in Figure 3 are open to atmosphere on both legs so the indicating fluid level
in both legs is the same.
Imposing an identical pressure on the left leg of each manometer, as shown in Figure 4,
causes the fluid level in each manometer to change.
Because of the variations in volume of the manometer legs, the distances moved by the
fluid columns are different.
However, the total distance between the fluid levels, H, remains identical in the three
manometers.
How does the he Manometer work?

-The
The working of a manometer is pursued as; The meter in the instrument includes a metal
shaft or cylinder. During the measurement of a gas or fluid, the flexible cylinder of the
gauge is clutched.
-Thereafter,
hereafter, the shaft is distorted, which is restored to the instrument, enabling you to
examine the outcome.

RESEARCH PAPER 1- MANOMETERS
-This instrument contains a U formed duct or tube in which the fluid is compressed. This
is utilized to assess the pressure which is unspecified by the balancing gravity force and
momentum due to gravity.
Advantages of Manometer:
1)It is economical and adequate for low-pressure entreaty.
2)It has a simple construction, decent perceptivity, nice precision and reasonable
procedure and formation.
3)The manometers do not have to be calibrated against any criterion; the stress variation
can be evaluated from the early principles.
4)The manometer is accessible for a huge range of restoring liquids of fluctuating certain
gravity.
-Disadvantages of Manometer:
1)Manometers are vast and thick
2)It needs grounding
3)No fixed quotation is accessible
4)In the manometer, the omission is submitted due to moisture
5)It has no over a latitude preservation
6)It has a miserable energetic response
-Different Types of Simple Manometer are:
i)U-tube (For Gauge and Vacuum Pressure)
ii)Piezometer
iii)Sensitive or Inclined tube and
iv)Single Column Manometer

How to Build a Manometer?

-We can make a simple manometer by filling a clear plastic tube partially with a color
liquid. So, that it the level of fluid can be easily observed. Furthermore, bent the tube in U-
shape and fix it in an upright position.
-Also, make sure that the level of fluid in two vertical columns is equal at this point. Most
noteworthy, the pressure on these two vertical columns is equal at this point because they
are exposed to the same pressure. In addition, this level is marked as the zero points of the
manometer.
Manometer Applications:
1. Static Pressure Measurement monitoring in duct or plenum.
2. For adjusting efficient, combustion.
3. To measure gas pressure to heating burner.
4. For adjusting pressure drop in dust scrubber.
5. For gauging damper position in duct.
6. For sensing loss of lubricating oil to saw bled.
7. To measure / monitor negative pressure during asbestos removal operation.
8. Measure to change in air pressure in textile equipment.
9. To measure pressurization of rooms.
10. To measure air velocity in duct.
11. For measuring air velocity in Orifice Plate.
12. To measure differential pressure across fan.
13. To indicate filter condition in any close process.
14. To monitor draft in smoke, stack.
15. To monitor air flow in oven.
Final Conclusion of the Research Paper:
-In these research paper we studied the topic Manometers in which we leant its Principle,
Types of Manometers, then we saw that how it works, studied it various Applications ,
Advantages and Disadvantages.
