Chapter 3 Manometers (Pressure Measuring Device)
TYPES OF MANOMETERS:
2. Differential manometers: Is a type of manometer whose ends are both closed to the
atmosphere and thus is not subjected to atmospheric pressure. Its
purpose is to determine the pressure difference between pipes,
vessels, or tanks with known internal pressures.
SAMPLE PROBLEMS:
3. Three different liquids with properties as indicated fill the tank and manometer tubes as
shown. Determine the specific gravity of fluid #3…
5. Determine the angle, Ø of the inclined tube shown if the pressure at pt A is 1 psi greater than pt. B…
6. The closed tank is filled with water and is 5 ft. long. The pressure gage on the tank reads 7 psi. Find
(a) the height, h in the open water column; (b) the pressure acting on the bottom tank surface AB.
9. Water, oil, and an unknown fluid are 10. Compartments A and B of the tank are
contained in the vertical tubes as shown. closed and filled with air and a liquid with a
Determine the density of the unknown fluid. specific gravity equal to 0.6. Determine the
manometer reading, h, if the barometric
pressure is of standard value, and that the
gage pressure reads 0.5 psi…
