2. SIMPLE MANOMETERS A simple manometer consists of a glass tube having one of its ends connected to a point where pressure is to be measured and other end remains open to atm Common types of simple manometers are : 1. Piezometer . 2. U-tube Manometer. 3. Single Column Manometer.

3. S ingle column Manometer Vertical single column Manometer It is a modified form of U-tube manometer. It contains reservoir. Change in liquid level is very small in the reservoir. Inclined single column Manometer It is more sensitive Distance moved by the heavy liquid in theright limb will be more.

6. Single column Manometer Now equate these two equations: Δh value come from ( Δh *A=a*h 2 )

7. DIFFERENTIAL MANOMETERS It is used for measuring the difference of pressures between two points in a pipe or in two different pipes . It consists of a ( i ) U-tube (ii)Heavy liquid
