Inclined Manometer |
||||||||
A manometer with an inclined tube arrangement helps to amplify the pressure reading, especially in low pressure range. A typical arrangement of the same is shown in Fig. L-8.3. |

The pressure at O is The pressure at O is Equating the pressures, we have |

At the same pressure difference, Equations (1) and (2) indicate that inclined tube manometer amplifies the length of measurement by  , which is the primary advantage of such type of manometer. |
