Advantage using water in a manometer?
The manometer becomes much more sensitive ( 13.59 times more sensitive than a mercury manometer)
What kind of water used in manometer?
Any clean water can be used in a manometer.
Why the water levels in the various Manometer tubes are different?
The reason the water levels in the various manometer tubes are different is because of the difference in pressure. A manometer is used to measure the pressure between two different systems.
Would a mercury manometer be able to measure a smaller pressure increment then a water manometer?
cause of the about of nice bits floating around Mercury is better because 1) it doesn't evaporate 2) water has a density 13.6 times lower than mercury, so for some applications the size of the manometer would have to be very large.
Which one of the following is an accurate description of pressure exerted by a water column measured in feet of water or inches of water is it density or head of water or pressure your opinions please?
mean and dirty a one foot column of water will produce 1/2 psig head
How is water depth measured?
The depth in the ocean is measured by sounding using echo-sounders. Nowadays satellites are also used for this purpose.
What can be measured using water displacement?
Measuring to see if something is level.
What physical property can be measured using the water displacement method?
volume
Can residual ozone in water be measured using chlorotex?
Chlorotex is used to test chlorine in water.
How is water pressured be measure?
Using a water pressure gauge and is measured in kilo pascals (kpa)
Why Mercury is used in manometer?
Mercury is used due to its higher specific gravity allowing the manometer physical size to be smaller in direct proportion to the weight of mercury vs weight of water.and its vapour pressure is negligible.these are the two reasons .
What is the difference between a manometer and a pitot?
A manometer is a device for measuring pressures, especially the word is used for pressure meters that are constructed to use a liquid in a transparent U-tube. A peizometer is specifically about measuring pressures in ground water wells.
