Introduction:
• A fluid is a substance that under an applied shear stress continuously flows. The term fluids are
a subset of the phases of matter and include both liquids and phases can be defined as the flow
of substances that are not permanently resistances to distortion. The study of fluid can be
divided into fluid statics and fluid dynamics.
• Fluid Statics: study the behaviour of liquid at rest.

•A manometer is an instrument used to measure and indicate pressure.
Basic principle Manometer:
A manometer works on the principle of hydrostatic equilibrium and is used for measuring the
pressure (static pressure) exerted by a still liquid or gas. Hydrostatic equilibrium states that the
pressure at any point in a fluid at rest is equal, and its value is just the weight of the overlying fluid.

11. 11
A simple manometer consists of a tubular arrangement where one end of the tube is connected
to the point in the fluid, whose pressure is to be determined and the other end is kept open to
the atmosphere. Simple manometers can be used to determine the gauge pressure or
vacuum pressure.
Types of Simple Manometers
Common types of simple manometers are:
• Piezometer
• U-tube Manometer
• Single Column Manometer

Piezometer :
Piezometer are the simplest form of simple manometers that can be employed to measure the
gauge pressures. As shown in the figure-1 below, one end of the tube is connected to the point
where the pressure is to be found out and the other end is open to the atmosphere.

Let us consider we have one container filled with a liquid and we need to measure the pressure of
liquid at point A in the container. Let us consider that we are using the pressure measuring device
“Piezometer” here to measure the pressure of liquid at point A as displayed here in following figure.
Simple Manometers:
Rise of liquid in the glass tube of Piezometer will provide us the pressure head
at point A and could be written as mentioned here. Rise of liquid in the glass
tube of Piezometer will also be termed as Piezomteric head.
Gauge pressure at point A = ρ x g x h
Where,
ρ = Density of liquid
g = Acceleration due to gravity
h = Rise of liquid in Piezometer glass tube
Absolute pressure at Point A = Pa + ρ x g x h
Where, Pa is the atmospheric pressure

Advantages of Piezometer tubes
There are following advantages of using Piezometer tube for measuring the pressure at a point of
fluid in a container and these are as mentioned here.
Technique of using Piezometer is very simple
Pressure measurement with Piezometer tube is quite economical
Piezometer tube will provide the accurate pressure reading

Disadvantages of Piezometer tubes
There are following disadvantages of using Piezometer tube for measuring the pressure at a point of
fluid in a container and these are as mentioned here.
Piezometer tube will only be used for measuring the pressure at a point of liquid. It could not be used
to measure the pressure at a point of gas. In simple, Piezometer tube will not be used to measure the
pressure of gas.
Piezometer tube will not be used to measure the negative pressure. Therefore pressure at point A,
where we are measuring the pressure, must be greater than the atmospheric pressure.
Liquid will be exposed to atmosphere in Piezometer tube and therefore liquid must be clean and non-
toxic.

U-tube Manometer:
A U-tube manometer, in which differential pressure is measured as the difference h between
the high-pressure reading and the low-pressure reading, multiplied by the density of the liquid in
the tube. ... The tube straightens slightly under pressure to a degree measured by a pointer
In its simplest form the manometer is a U-tube about half filled with liquid……When positive
pressure is applied to one leg, the liquid is forced down in that leg and up in the other. The
difference in height, “h”, which is the sum of the reading above and below zero, indicates the
pressure.

expelled through the tap on the top, in order to adjust the level of the liquid in the
manometer.

The Reynolds number helps predict flow patterns in different fluid flow situations. At low
Reynolds numbers, flows tend to be dominated by laminar flow, while at high Reynolds
numbers flows tend to be turbulent.
