    Manometers are devices used to measure fluid pressure by balancing columns of the same or different fluids. There are simple manometers like piezometers and U-tube manometers, as well as differential manometers like U-tube and inverted U-tube types. Manometers are inexpensive to make, accurate, sensitive, require little maintenance, and suitable for measuring low pressures and pressure differences.

    Manometers

    What are Manometers?


    Manometers are devices used for measuring the pressure at a point in a fluid, by balancing the
    column of fluid by the same or another column of fluid.

    Types of Manometers
    Manometers are classified as:

    1. Simple manometers
    o Piezometer
    o U-tube manometer, and
    o Single column manometer
     Vertical single column manometer
     Inclined single column manometer

    2. Differential manometers
    o U-tube differential manometer
    o Inverted U-tube differential manometer

    Advantages of Manometers

     Easy to fabricate and relatively inexpensive


     Good accuracy
     High Sensitivity
     Requires little maintenance
     Suitable for low pressure and low differential pressure
