The right limb of a simple U-tube manometer containing mercury is open to the atmosphere while the lift limb is connected to a pipe in which a fluid of specific gravity 0.85 is flowing. The centre of the pipe is 14 cm below the level of mercury in the right limb.Evaluate the pressure of fluid flowing in the pipe if the difference of mercury level in the two limbs is 22 cm.

Correct Answer: 2.86 N/cm2
Pressure at centre of pipe + Pressure at depth 8 cm in left limb = Pressure at depth 22 cm in right limb P = 13600×9.81×0.22 – 850×9.81×.08 = 2.86 N/cm2.

A Differential manometer is connected at the points A and Bat the centre of two pipes. The pipe A(left limb) contains a liquid of specific gravity = 1.5 while pipe B (right limb)contains a liquid of specific gravity 0.85. The pressure at A and B are .5 kgf/cm2 and 1.2 kgf/cm2 respectively. Find the difference in level of mercuru in the differential manometer. A is 2.5m above B and 5 m above the mercury in its own limb. B is 2.5 m above the mercury level in limb A.

A mercury (specific gravity = 13.6) manometer connected across an orificemeter fitted in a pipe shows a manometer reading of 2 cms. If the manometer liquid is changed to carbon tetrachloride (specific gravity = 1.6), then for the same flow rate of water the new manometer reading will be __________ cms.

Pressure difference between two points in vessels, pipelines or in two different pipelines can be measured by a differential manometer. The pressure difference measured as the mm of water coloumn in case of mercury-water, differential manometer is equal to (where, H = difference in height of mercury column in mm).

A student wants to find the absolute pressure of water at a point below the surface of water. He has a barometer and a manometer pressure gauge. The barometer reads 1.3152 bar where as the manometer pressure gauge reads 0.3152 bar. What is the absolute pressure? (Assume that pressure at one end of the manometer is atmospheric.)

The pressure drop per unit length of pipe incurred by a fluid 'X' flowing through pipe is $$\Delta {\text{p}}.$$  If another fluid 'Y' having both the specific gravity & density just double of that of fluid 'X', flows through the same pipe at the same flow rate/average velocity, then the pressure drop in this case will be

Tina observed the following when she tested the specific gravity of milk to check for adulteration- the specific gravity was lesser than that of pure milk. She complained to the milk vendor and the next day checked the specific gravity again. This time it came in the range of the desired specific gravity. Can we be assured that this is pure unadulterated milk?

In a U-tube mercury manometer, one end is exposed to the atmosphere and the other end is connected to a pressurized gas. The gauge pressure of the gas is found to be 40 kPa. Now, we change the manometric fluid to water. The height difference changes by: (ρmercury = 13600 kg/m3, ρwater = 1000 kg/m3).

The figure below shows water flowing through a pipe. The pressure difference between points P and Q measured using a water-over-mercury manometer is

A U-tube manometer is open at one end and has a gas at the other end if the level of the mercury in both legs of the manometer is equal then what is the temperature of the gas?

In the inverted U-tube Differential manometer, how is the specific gravity of manometric fluid used relative to the fluid flowing in the pipes
