	manometer is the simplest pressure meauring instrument. Learn about U mano meter and othe manometers
		The manometer is the simplest measuring instrument used for gauge pressure (low-range pressure) measurements, by balancing the pressure against the weight of a column of liquid.
		Since manometers inherently measure the pressure difference between the two ends of the liquid column, if one end is at zero absolute pressure, then the difference in height of the liquid from the zero reference indicates the absolute pressure.
		The inclined tube manometer or slant manometer is an enlarged leg manometer with its measuring leg inclined to the vertical axis by some angle.

		One use of manometers is to measure vacuum pressures, especially in the range from 0.001 atmospheres to 1 atm.
		The U-tube manometer is a primary standard because the difference in height between the two columns is always a true indication of the pressure regardless of variations in the internal diameter of the tubing.
		Manometers, first invented in the seventeenth century, are used to measure the pressure of gases.

		A sphygmomanometer or blood pressure meter is a device used to measure blood pressure, comprising an inflatable cuff to restrict blood flow, and a mercury or mechanical manometer to measure the pressure.
		A sphygmomanometer usually consists of an inflatable cuff, a measuring unit (the mercury manometer), a tube to connect the two, and (in models that don't inflate automatically) an inflation bulb also connected by a tube to the cuff.

	Manometer Summary
		When a container of gas is connected to one end of the tube, the pressure of the gas causes the liquid in the manometer to become displaced and rise up into the arms of the tube.
		If the pressure of the gas introduced into the manometer is greater than the atmospheric pressure, the liquid will rise up into the open-ended arm; if the atmospheric pressure is greater, liquid rises up into the closed portion of the tube.
		Other manometers contain a sealed-off vacuum at one end, so that changes in atmospheric pressure don't have to be accounted for in calculations.

	SOFIA - Poster - Velocity And Stage Data Collected In A Laboratory Flume For Water-Surface Slope Determination Using A ...
		A unique pipe manometer (Fig.1) was developed for the local measurement of water-surface slopes on the order of 1 cm/km, as water-surface slopes in the Everglades are perhaps the most difficult flow-resistance parameters to measure.
		Both pipe manometers were constructed from a 2.4-m-long, 7.6-cm.diameter piece of PVC pipe with a short elbow of the same diameter at the upstream end.
		Each manometer was supported by wooden stakes inserted into the mud in the bottom of the flume in an "X" configuration with the manometer resting in the top vertex of the "X" (Fig.1).

	SparkNotes: Ideal Gases: Boyle's Law and the Manometer
		In fact, Boyle's manometer illustrates a truism common to all manometers: h corresponds to the difference in pressure between the two ends of the manometer.
		Let's try this procedure with a manometer in which one end is open to the atmosphere (760 mm Hg) and the other is sealed off to a vacuum.
