How do you use manometer to measure level?

Answer 1

A well-type manometer is to be used to measure differential pressure in a water flow system. The manometer uses a special bromide liquid of specific gravity of 2.95.The well and tube are of 75 mm and 5 mm diameter respectively. The scale placed along the tube has no correction factor for the area ratio of the manometer. Calculate the value of this factor which must be multiplied by the manometer reading in mm to find the pressure differential in kg/cm2.

Answer 2

Assuming the fluid is of uniform temperature and composition - or at least close enough as to make no significant difference - if a tube containing a liquid is open at both ends, the level of the liquid will be the same at both ends. If it wasn't then the combination of atmospheric pressure and hydrostatic pressure would cause it to equalize. The distance between the ends does not matter unless you start talking on the order of kilometers. Because of this, measurements taken against the level of fluid in the tube will always be against the same "zero" point and deviations from that height represents deviations from "level" relative to that zero point.

Answer 3

A manometer can be used to measure the level of a fluid by connecting one end of the manometer tube to the container holding the fluid. The difference in height between the fluid levels in the container and the manometer tube indicates the pressure exerted by the fluid, allowing you to determine the level. Make sure the manometer is calibrated and positioned correctly for accurate measurements.
