Inclined Tube Manometer

Inclined Tube Manometers are devices used for measuring and controlling pressure in various applications. They fall under the supply class of Pressure, Temperature, and Humidity Measuring and Controlling Instruments, which is part of the larger supply group of Instruments and Laboratory Equipment.

An inclined tube manometer consists of a U-shaped tube filled with a liquid, typically mercury or water. One end of the tube is connected to the pressure source being measured, while the other end is open to the atmosphere. The liquid in the tube rises or falls depending on the pressure difference between the two ends.

The tube is inclined at an angle, which allows for more accurate measurement of small pressure differences. The height difference between the liquid levels in the two arms of the tube is proportional to the pressure difference being measured.

Inclined tube manometers are commonly used in various industries and applications, including HVAC systems, fluid mechanics experiments, and pressure measurement in laboratories. They are relatively simple and inexpensive devices that provide reliable pressure measurements.
