It is a type of manometer, an object used to measure the pressure of different things, and the open armed manometer allows for the atmospheric pressure in the tube of the manometer. So the sample gas pressure pushes on the Mercury that is already being pushed on by the atmospheric pressure. Then you add the atmospheric pressure to the change in the mercury (in mm) and that gives you your pressure. It's like a tire gauge.

What is the function of U-tube manometer?
One of ends of the tube is used for pressure measurements, the other can be left open to the atmosphere to measure static pressure, or can be attached to the low end of a pressure system to measure differential pressure.
What happens if soda lime is not present in a manometer?
Soda lime traps any CO2 released. Without the soda lime, the brodie fluid in the manometer will not change as there is the same amount of CO2 as O2 released (this is strictly for carbohydrates or any other substances produced using the same concentrations of oxygen gas and carbon dioxide).

Function of manometer?
The function of a manometer is to measure the pressure of a fluid, usually a gas or a liquid. It consists of a sealed tube filled with the fluid being measured, with one end open to the environment and the other end connected to the source of pressure. As the pressure changes, the fluid in the manometer rises or falls, allowing the measurement of the pressure.
