Manometers measure a pressure difference by balancing the weight of a fluid column between the two pressures of interest. Large pressure differences are measured with heavy fluids, such as mercury (e.g. 760 mm Hg = 1 atmosphere). Manometer Pressure Manometer Pressure, Dp: 981 Pa...

Pressure Measurement By Manometer As the tube is open to the atmosphere the pressure measured is relative to atmospheric so is gauge pressure. This method can only be used for liquids (i.e. not for gases) and only when the liquid height is convenient to measure.

A Manometer is a device to measure pressures. A common simple manometer consists of a U shaped tube of glass filled with some liquid. Typically the liquid is mercury because of its high density. Now the top of the tube on the left has been closed. The right side of the tube remains open to the atmosphere. The point A,

If lighter liquids are used like oil this signal would read as about 97 inches of oil requiring a very tall manometer gauge. With a senstivity of some 16 times greater than a mercury manometer, an oil manometer only needs to look at the difference. The tubing was taped to the yardstick with transparent packing tape.
