A differential manometer has a reading of 4 in. of mercury when it is attached to a 6 inch diameter pipe as shown. the liquid flowing on the pipe is oil having a sp. gr. of 0.91.
Compute the difference in pressure between A and B in psi
a) Discuss the different types of manometers with an example. b) The manometer with one of the arms open to the atmosphere is used to measure the pressure of a natural gas pipeline, as shown in Figure b. By calculating the local atmospheric pressure, determine the i) Show the formula for finding pressure in the pipeline. ii) The pressure of the natural gas pipeline. Note: Values of a, b, c and d can be assumed. iii) If the height of the air column was made to be longer, would there be a significant difference in the result? Justify with calculation. iv) If the fluid inside the pipeline is replaced with water, will the pressure be similar? Validate with calculation.
There are two manometers (liquid inside has an Specific Gravity of 13.6) attached to an air duct. The reading on the open end manometer is 25.0mm and that on the sealed-end on manometer is 800.0mm. What is the atmospheric pressure?
