00:07In this video
00:08we will discuss about
00:09different types of simple manometers
00:11and their working principle
00:13in pressure measurement
00:15so the manometer
00:16is a pressure measuring device
00:17used to measure pressure
00:19at a point in fluid
00:20via balancing the column of fluid
00:23by the same fluid or another fluid
00:25and It is commonly known as
00:27U-shaped tube
00:28that is filled with liquid, gas or steam
00:32so manometers
00:33are classified into two categories
00:35that is simple manometer
00:36and differential manometer
00:39the Piezometer
00:40U-tube Manometer
00:41and Single Column Manometer
00:43are the 3 simple manometers
00:46so first is Piezometer
00:47which is simplest type of manometer
00:49which is generally known as
00:51an open tube manometer
00:53One end of this manometer
00:55is connected to point
00:56 where pressure is to be measured
00:58and another end of this manometer
01:00is open to atmosphere
01:02the rise in liquid column
01:04will give the pressure at that point
01:06The pressure at point A
01:08will be evaluated
01:09with the help of given formula
01:12next type is U-tube Manometer
01:16which consists of a glass tube
01:17that is bent in a U-shape
01:19where one end of tube
01:20is connected to a point
01:22where pressure is to be measured
01:24and other end remains open to atmosphere
01:27here tube generally contains mercury
01:29or any other liquid
01:30whose specific gravity is greater than
01:33specific gravity of liquid
01:34whose pressure is to be measured
01:37for measuring gauge pressure
01:39let A be the point
01:40at which pressure is to be measured
01:42whose value is Pa
01:43and the datum line is X X dash
01:47the pressure above the
01:47horizontal datum line X X dash
01:50in the left limb and right limb
01:52of U-tube Manometer
01:53should be same
01:54and which is given by this equation
01:57and the pressure at point A
01:58will be evaluated
01:59with the help of given formula
02:01where h1 and h2 are the heights
02:04of light liquid and heavy liquid
02:06above the datum line respectively
02:09row 1 and row 2 are the densities
02:11of light liquid and heavy liquid
02:13 respectively
02:15for measuring vacuum pressure
02:17the level of heavy liquid in manometer
02:19is as shown in figure
02:21and the pressure at point A
02:23will be evaluated
02:24with the help of given formula
02:27now next type is
02:28single column manometer
02:30single column manometer is of two types
02:33that is Vertical single column manometer
02:35and Inclined single column manometer
02:38In Vertical single column manometer
02:40one limb of manometer
02:42consists of
02:43large container like structure
02:45that is reservoir
02:46and another limb of manometer
02:48is a simple tube
02:50The height raised in tube
02:51will define the pressure
02:53therefore
02:54The formula for determining pressure
02:56at point A
02:57which is to be measured
02:58with the help of given formula
03:00where h1 indicate
03:01Height of low density liquid
03:03above the reference line X X dash
03:06and h2 indicates
03:07Height of high density liquid
03:09above the reference line X X dash
03:11and small g is Acceleration due to gravity
03:14and row 1 and row 2 are the densities
03:17of low density liquid
03:18and high density liquid respectively
03:21the Inclined single column manometer
03:23is just like previous type of manometer
03:25in which
03:26It has one large section
03:28which is termed as reservoir
03:30and another limb of manometer
03:31is a simple tube
03:33that is inclined to certain angle
03:35The rise of fluid in tube
03:36will determine the pressure
03:39therefore
03:39The formula for determining pressure
03:41at point A
03:42which is to be measured
03:43with the help of given formula
03:46where h2 indicate
03:47vertical rise of heavy liquid
03:48in right limb
03:49from X X dash
03:51and h2 equal to L sin theta
03:55where L is length of heavy liquid
03:57moved in right limb
03:58from X X dash
04:00and theta is inclination of right limb
04:02with horizontal
04:04h1 indicate Height of low density liquid
04:06above the reference line X X dash
04:09and row 1 and row 2 are the densities
04:12of low density liquid
04:13and high density liquid respectively
04:16and small g is Acceleration due to gravity
