- It is a device used for measuring the difference of pressures, between two points in a pipe, or in two different pipes.
DIFFERENTIAL MANOMETERSlide2
A U tube manometer measures the pressure difference between two points A and B in a liquid. The U tube contains mercury. Calculate the difference in pressure if h =1.5 m,
h2 = 0.75 m and h1 = 0.5 m. The liquid at A and B is water (
ω
= 9.81 × 103N/m2) and the specific gravity of mercury is 13.6.
Example 2.6Slide3
Since C and D are at the same level in the same liquid at rest Pressure at C = Pressure at D
For the left hand limb For the right hand limb
since Pressure difference
Solution to Example 2.6Slide4
A U tube manometer measures the pressure difference between two points A and B in a liquid. The U tube contains mercury. Calculate the difference in pressure if h = 2.0 m, h2 = 0.35
m and h1 = 0.5 m. The liquid at A and B is oil ( s = 0.85) and the specific gravity of mercury is 13.6.

- It is used for measuring the difference of low pressure, where accuracy is the prime consideration
INVERTED DIFFERENTIAL MANOMATERSlide6
An inverted U tube as shown in the figure below is used to measure the pressure difference between two points A and B which has water flowing. The difference in level h = 0.3 m, a = 0.25 m and
b = 0.15 m. Calculate the pressure difference pB – pA if the top of the manometer is filled with:
(a) air (b) oil of relative density 0.8.

In the figure 2, fluid Q is water and fluid P is oil (specific gravity = 0.9). If h = 69 cm and z = 23 cm, what is the
difference pressure in kN/m2 between A and B?
