Product Description
For use at moderate pressures, fabricated from glass tubing 6mm bore, 8mm outside diameter. Glass manometer with built-in stopcock mounted on back plate. The apparatus is open at both ends and is supplied unfilled, 250mm long, 32mm wide (75mm wide including the side arm) Designed for Laboratory PrecisionCrafted with borosilicate glass and a solid wooden base, the manometer delivers reliable, accurate readings for pressure difference measurements in laboratory and industrial setups. The clear polished finish and printed graduations enhance readability, while the chemical and corrosion resistance ensures longevity even in demanding conditions.
Versatile and User-Friendly ApplicationSuitable for wall-mounted or tabletop use, this manometer comes with nozzle or screw end connections as per requirements. Manual, analog control allows for precise adjustments, and the U-shape design facilitates straightforward observation of fluid levels. Its compatibility with both mercury and red coloured water caters to diverse measurement needs.
FAQ's of Manometer:
Q: How does the U tube manometer measure pressure difference in gases?
A: The U tube manometer operates by balancing the pressure of a gas against a column of measuring fluid (either mercury or red coloured water). The difference in fluid levels between the two arms reflects the pressure difference, which can be read accurately using the printed graduations in mm and inches.
Q: What types of fluids can be used in this manometer for pressure measurement?
A: This manometer supports mercury or red coloured water as measuring fluids, allowing flexibility based on laboratory preferences and safety protocols. Both fluids provide clear, visible columns for precise readings.
Q: When should the manometer be recalibrated for best accuracy?
A: It is recommended to recalibrate the manometer periodically, especially after extensive usage or if precise measurements are critical. Regular checks ensure the 1 mm accuracy is maintained for reliable results.
Q: Where can this manometer be installed in the laboratory?
A: The device is suitable for both wall-mounted and tabletop configurations, providing versatility in placement wherever pressure measurement of gases is required in the lab or industrial workspace.
Q: What is the process for mounting or setting up the manometer?
A: Setting up involves securing the manometer either to a wall or tabletop using the appropriate fittings (nozzle or screw, as requested). Introduce the measuring fluid into the tube, ensuring no air bubbles, and it's ready for operation with manual control.
Q: How does the clear polished glass finish benefit laboratory users?
A: The clear polished glass and printed graduations offer excellent visibility and readability, making it easy to observe meniscus levels and record precise measurements with minimal parallax error.
