  Lecture 7: Pressure measurement
 

When air is the working fluid in which pressure measurements are carried out, is small and considerable error can occur in the measurement of with a U-tube manometer. In such instances one can use an inclined tube manometer that amplifies by a factor of . This arrangement is shown in Figure 2.7.
