Product Information

U-tube manometers are one of the simplest varieties available. They are a type of analogue manometer commonly used as differential pressure measurement instruments with flow meters, often used when measuring pressure difference in pitot tubes, nozzles and orifices in airflow and ventilation systems. A manometer allows the measurement of additional liquid/gas sources against atmospheric pressure or against other liquid/gas sources. There are various types which allow you to adjust the pressure on one side to give a more accurate reading. It is also the option to have closed/open ends and the U-tube design which differentiates these two pressure measurement devices. Will measurements be taken in multiple locations or just one? In other words, does the manometer need to be portable or stationary?

Micromanometers are similar to other manometer types, but they are specifically designed to measure very small pressure differences. These instruments are highly sensitive and are well suited to taking accurate, precise readings of the smallest differences. Although they are primarily used for measuring differential pressure, micromanometers can also be used to test or balance systems and calculate velocity or volumetric flow rate. Inclined Manometers While these two devices are used to measure air pressure there are subtle differences. If we look at the original mercury barometers they were simply a glass tube filled with the mercury and part-vacuum. The height of the mercury column would rise and fall in tandem with differing atmospheric pressure. This was calibrated against a scale allowing the measurement of actual atmospheric pressure. The main point being that the tube was one column and both ends were closed. A liquid manometer in comparison to a mercury barometer, showing the difference in working principle A manometer is one of the cheapest and most effective means of managing and measuring list. Essentially a manometer is a hose filled with water that runs along the beam of a ship, where the difference in the water level between the port and starboard side corresponds to the list. A manometer can measure list to less than a centimeter and depending on geographical and environmental factors, can provide greater accuracy than actually reading the outboard draught marks. The principle behind a manometer gas or liquid pressure gauge is extremely simple. Hydrostatic equilibrium shows that the pressure when a liquid is at rest is equal at any point. For example, if both ends of the U-tube are left open to the atmosphere then the pressure on each side will be equal. As a consequence the level of the liquid on the left-hand side will be the same as the level of the liquid on the right-hand side – equilibrium. However, if one end of the U-tube is left open to the atmosphere and the other connected to an additional gas/liquid supply this will create different pressures.

in pressure between two atmospheric sources. The most typical use for this is to measure the pressure of To operate a manometer both sides of the column are attached to a pressure-producing source, such as a gasDepending on the application, at PCE Instruments, in the category Manometers, you will find a large selection of built-in and handheld instruments. Digital manometers have largely become the norm and are now widely used by professionals for a variety of measurement applications. As opposed to analogue manometers, digital models contain a pressure transducer which deflects under pressure. The device then converts the deflection into the value of an electrical parameter which can be detected and calibrated to a pressure reading, in turn, thus providing the measurement. The all new Anton APM digital differential manometers are ideal for the heating professional. The APM 135 and 145 feature domestic tightness testing whilst the APM 155 is perfect for commercial strength testing (see table for model specific features). fluid, freon etc. To use the APM digital manometers with these media, isolation must be provided in the form of a buffer, such as mineral oil or dry air. When using a manometer to measure water pressure, the model in use must be suitable for liquids to avoid potential damage to the instrument. Similarly, if the liquid contains chemicals or other potentially hazardous substances, you should be aware of the damage it could cause if an unsuitable manometer is used. Additionally, over-pressuring the manometer may cause subsequent readings to be incorrect due to internal diaphragm bending or rupturing, so it is essential to use the correct instrument with care.
