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.

How can one effectively use a manometer to measure pressure?
To effectively use a manometer to measure pressure, first ensure the manometer is properly calibrated and zeroed. Next, connect one end of the manometer to the system or device where pressure is to be measured. The other end should be open to the atmosphere. The difference in fluid levels in the manometer will indicate the pressure. Read the measurement from the scale on the manometer to determine the pressure accurately.
How do you properly read a manometer?
To properly read a manometer, first ensure it is filled with the correct fluid. Then, observe the height difference between the two sides of the manometer. The side with higher fluid level indicates higher pressure. Read the measurement where the fluid intersects the scale.
What is the function of U-tube manometer?
A U-tube manometer is used to measure pressure by comparing the height difference of the liquid levels in two arms of a U-shaped tube. It is commonly used in various applications, such as in fluid mechanics experiments, HVAC systems, and pressure monitoring in chemical processes.
What are the different parts of a manometer and how do they work together to measure pressure?
A manometer consists of a U-shaped tube filled with a liquid, typically mercury or water. One end of the tube is connected to the source of pressure being measured, while the other end is open to the atmosphere. The difference in height of the liquid in the two arms of the tube indicates the pressure difference between the source and the atmosphere. By measuring this height difference, the pressure can be calculated using the principles of fluid mechanics.
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).

How does an open tube manometer work?
it measures the difference in preasure one arm of the tube is opened and the other is attched with a vessel like structure which help to measure the preasure the difference in liquid level represents ' the difference in preasure
What happens when oil is added to one side of a U-shaped manometer?
When oil is added to one side of a U-shaped manometer, the pressure in that side increases, causing the liquid level to rise in that arm and drop in the other arm. This creates an imbalance in pressure, with the higher pressure side pushing the liquid up higher.
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.
What has a glass tube with the open end submerged in liquid mercury?
A manometer. Used to measure pressure.
What is the solution to an open tube manometer problem?
To solve an open tube manometer problem, you need to calculate the pressure difference between the two points being measured. This can be done by using the equation P1 - P2 gh, where P1 and P2 are the pressures at each point, is the density of the fluid in the manometer, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height difference between the two fluid levels in the manometer. By rearranging the equation and plugging in the known values, you can find the solution to the problem.
Can you calculate absolute pressure using U-tube manometer?
Calculating absolute pressure with a U-tube manometer requires filling it with a non-volatile fluid and sealing one end. The non-sealed end is exposed to whatever fluid you wish to measure the pressure of. The difference in the height of the manometer fluid between the open arm and the sealed arm is an indication of absolute pressure. At zero absolute pressure the fluid should be at the same height in both arms with vacuum above the fluid in the sealed arm. From a practical standpoint, there are no fluids that have zero vapor pressure, but fluids are available with vapor pressures low enough to be negligible compared to the limitations of the ability of the person reading the measurements to read the height of the fluid. As an example, under most operating conditions mercury has a negligible vapor pressure. If you start getting up to high temperatures, however, all bets are off.

What instrument measures the pressure in an enclosed container of gas?
A manometer is used to measure pressure in an enclosed container of gas. It typically consists of a U-shaped tube filled with liquid that reacts to changes in pressure inside the container. The liquid level in the arm of the manometer connected to the container will rise or fall based on the pressure, providing a measurement of the gas pressure.
