  1. Measurement of PressureManometry • Use liquid column in vertical or inclined tubes • Hg barometer is an example of one type of manometer • Measure • 3 common types of manometers including the U-tube manometer, piezometer, inclined manometer Measurement of Pressure Manometry

  2. •Piezometer is simple and accurate •Piezometer is only suitable if the pressure in the container is greater than atmospheric pressure •Fluid in the container in which the pressure is measured must be a liquid rather than gas Figure 2.9 (p. 51) Piezometer tube.

  3. Figure 2.10 (p. 51) Simple U-tube manometer.

  4. Example 1 • A manometer is used to measure the pressure in tank as shown. If the local atmospheric pressure is 96 kPa, determine the absolute pressure within the tank.

  5. Example 2 A closed tank contains compressed air and oil (SGoil=0.90) as Is shown in the Figure. h1=36 in., h2=6 in, h3=9 in. Determine the pressure reading (in psi) of the gage using the U-tube Hg manometer

  6. Figure 2.11 (p. 53) • suitable to measure the pressure difference between two points Differential U-tube manometer.

  7. Figure 2.12 (p. 54) Inclined-tube manometer Suitable to measure small pressure changes Often used to measure small difference in gas pressures

(b) Internal elements of Bourdon gages. The “C-shaped” Bourdon tube is shown on the left, and the “coiled spring” Bourdon tube for high pressures of 1000 psi and above is shown on the right.

  9. Pressure Transducer • Pressure is measured as an electrical output for continuous monitoring. Figure 2.14 (p. 56) Pressure transducer which combines a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) with a Bourdon gage. (From Ref. 4, used by permission.) Figure 2.15a (p. 57) (a) Two different sized strain-gage pressure transducers (Spectramed Models P10EZ and P23XL) commonly used to measure physiological pressures. Plastic domes are filled with fluid and connected to blood vessels through a needle or catheter. (Photograph courtesy of Spectramed, Inc.
