Single column manometer Single cohimn manometer is one modified form of U-Tube manometer. There will be one reservoir with large cross- sectional area about 100 times as compared to the area of glass tube. One limb (let us say left) of the glass tube will be connected with the reservoir and another limb (right) of glass tube will be open to atmosphere as displayed kere in following figure. This complete set-up will be termed as single column manometer. Pressure will be measured at a point in the fluid by connecting the single column manometer with the container filled with liquid whose pressure needs to be measured. Rise of liquid in right limb of glass tube will provide the pressure head There are basically two types of single column manometers, on the basis of right limb of manometer, as mentioned here. Vertical single column manometer Inclined single column manometer Vertical single column manometer In case of vertical single column manometer, other limb of glass tube will be vertical ae displayed here in following figure. Let us consider we have one container filled with a liquid and we need to measure the pressure of liquid at point A in ‘the container. Let us consider that we are using the pressure mearuring device “Vertical single column manometer” here to measure the pressure of liquid at point A as displayed here in following figure.Let us consider the following terms from shove figure. ‘0X is the datum line between in the reservoir and im the right limb of manometer P= Pressure at point A and we need to measure this pressure or we need to find the expression for pressure at this point. Let us consider that container, filled with a liquid whose pressure is to be measured, is connected now with vertical single columm manometer Once vertical single cohman manometer will be comnected with container, heavy liquid in reservoir wall move downward due to the high pressure of liquid at point A in the container. Therefore heavy liquid will rise in right limb of the manometer. bb = Height of lower specific gravity liquid sbove the datum line bby = Height of higher specific gravity liquid above the dztum line b= Fall of hezvy liquid in the reservoir S; = Specific gravity of the light liquid ic. specific gravity of liquid in container Sp = Specific gravity of the heavy liquid ie. specific gravity of liquid in reservoir and in right limb of the manometer 1 = Density ofthe light liquid = 1000 x Sy 9) = Density ofthe heavy liquid = 1000 = $3 A= Cross-sectional area of the reservoir a= Cross-sectional area of the nght imb_ ‘YY = Datum line afer connecting the manometer with container Level of heavy liquid im the reservoir will be dropped and therefore there will be respective rise im the level of heavy liquid in the right limb.Level of heavy liquid in the reservoir will be dropped and therefore there will be respective rise in the level ofhexcy liquid in the right limb. Ax Ah=axh; Ab=2/Axh Pressure in the left limb above the datum line YY =P + pyg (Ah=hy) Pressure in the right column above the datum line YY = ppg (ith + by) As pressure is same for the horizontal surface and therefore we will have following equation as mentioned here P= ppg (th +by) = oye (Gh= By) P= ppg (Oh by) - eye (4h +by) = Ab (pos - p12) + ee bo - pe) P= (z/Ax ho) (p7e- 91s) + p78 by- pps hy aha (pat ~ pus) + paghe~ pug haIn case of inclined single columm manometer, other lintb of glass tube will be inclined as displayed here in following figure. Let us consider we have one container filled with a liquid and we need to measure the pressure of liquid at point the container Let us consider that we are using the pressure maturing device “Inclined single column manometer” hhere to measure the pressure of liquid at point A as displayed here im following figure, Let us consider the following terms from shove fizure. ‘XOX is the datum line between in the reservoir and in the inclined limb of manometer P= Pressure at point A and we need to measure this pressure or we need to find the expression for pressure at this point. Let us consider that container, filled with a liquid whose pressure is to be measured, is connected now with inclined single column manometer. (Once inclined single column manomater will be connected with container, heavy liquid in reservoir will move downward due to the high pressure of liquid at point A in the container. Therefore heavy liquid will rise in inclined limb of the manometer.
