Differential U-Tube Manometers
349. The pressure difference between an oil pipe and water
pipe is measured by a double-fluid manometer, as shown in
Fig, P3-49. For the given fluid heights and specific gravities,
calculate the pressure difference AP = Py — Py.

Differential U-Tube Manometers
3-51 Two water tanks are connected to each other through
‘a mercury manometer with inclined tubes, as shown in Fig.
P3-51. If the pressure difference between the two tanks is
20 kPa, calculate a and @.
Differential U-Tube Manometers
Example 2.23. An inverted differential manometer is connected to two pipes A and B carrying
‘water under pressure as shown in Fig. 2.26. The fluid in the manometer is oil of specific gravity
0.75. Determine the pressure difference between A and B.

EXAMPLE 3-2 Measuring Pressure with a Manometer
A manometer is used to measure the pressure in a tank. The fluid used has
a specific gravity of 0.85, and the manometer column height is 55 cm, as
shown in Fig. 3-12. If the local atmospheric pressure is 96 kPa, determine
the absolute pressure within the tank.

EXAMPLE 3-3 Measuring Pressure with a Multifluid Manometer
The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the pressure is measured by a
multifiuid manometer as shown in Fig. 3-15. The tank is located on a moun-
tain at an altitude of 1400 m where the atmospheric pressure is 85.6 KPa.
Determine the air pressure in the tank if fy = 0.1 m, h = 0.2 m, and hy =
0.36 m. Take the densities of water, oil, and mercury to be 1000 kg/m?
850 kg/m®, and 13,600 ke/m?, respectively.

Liquid Example 2.7. On the suction side of a pump a gauge shows a negative pressure of 0.35 bar.
Express this pressure in terms of:
(i) Intensity of pressure, kPa,
(ii) Nin? absolute,
(iii) Metres of water gauge,
(iv) Metres of oil (specific gravity 0.82) absolute, and
(vy) Centimetres of mercury gauge,
Take atmospheric pressure as 76 cm of Hg and relative density of mercury as 13.6.
