What is an Acrylic Body U-Tube Manometer?
The Acrylic Body U-Tube Manometer is a pressure measurement instrument made from a durable and transparent acrylic block. It features a U-shaped channel where a liquid column is used to measure pressure or vacuum. The acrylic body provides enhanced durability, chemical resistance, and excellent visibility of the fluid levels, ensuring precise and easy-to-read measurements.
Key Features of Pitambara Engineering Acrylic Body U-Tube Manometer
- Sturdy Acrylic Construction:
- Made from high-quality acrylic for strength, longevity, and resistance to cracking or chemical damage.
- Transparent material ensures clear visibility of the liquid column.
- Accurate Pressure Measurements:
- Precisely calibrated for measuring positive, negative (vacuum), or differential pressures.
- Compatible with various working fluids such as water, oil, or mercury, depending on the pressure range.
- Clear Graduations:
- Fine, engraved scales on the acrylic body allow for accurate and easy reading of pressure differences.
- Dual-sided graduations for convenient measurements in multiple units.
- Versatile Application:
- Ideal for low-pressure systems, laboratory experiments, and industrial setups.
- Can be customized to meet specific industrial needs, including size, fluid type, and pressure range.
- Low Maintenance Design:
- Simple structure with no moving parts ensures long-term reliability and minimal maintenance.
Working Principle
The Acrylic Body U-Tube Manometer operates on the principle of hydrostatic equilibrium. When pressure is applied to one or both ends of the U-tube, the liquid inside the channel shifts. The difference in height between the two columns corresponds to the pressure difference. This displacement is measured against the engraved scale to determine the pressure value in units such as mm of water or mm of mercury.
Applications
- Industrial Processes: Used for monitoring pressure differences in pipelines, gas systems, and equipment.
- HVAC Systems: Measuring airflow and duct pressure in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
- Laboratory Experiments: Ideal for academic and research settings to demonstrate hydrostatic principles.
- Environmental Monitoring: Monitoring pressure in controlled environments or atmospheric studies.
Advantages of the Acrylic Body U-Tube Manometer

Would you like additional information about specifications, customization options, or installation guidelines?
- During installation, tank shuld be completely empty.
- There should be no objects which shall hinder the float.
- Ensure that the float position inside the tank should be such that agitation on it will be minimum.
- The position of mounting nozzle should be far away from the liquid fill pipe to protect the float from damage and faulty readings due to turbulence.
- Ensure that tank structures / fittings do not come in the way of calibrated gauges boards
- Instruments required- Welding machine, combination/crimping plier, spanner and adjustable.
- Even with large changes in liquid density, the immersion of a large diameter float will change very little, thus density has little effect on accuracy.
- Float systems are simple and easily understood.
- Even if the primary requirement is the transmitted signal, local indicators can continue to operate, even on loss of power.

- Low Maintenance
- Economical Measurement Solution
- Easy Mounting
- Assured Level Indication without power supply
