Its simplicity, durability, and accuracy make it a preferred choice in diverse industries.
What is a Glass Tube U-Tube Manometer?
The Glass Tube U-Tube Manometer is a pressure measurement instrument based on hydrostatic principles. It consists of a U-shaped glass tube partially filled with a liquid (usually water, oil, or mercury), where the liquid column height is used to determine the pressure difference between two points. The glass construction ensures clear visibility and resistance to chemical reactions.

- Ideal for a wide range of industrial and laboratory applications.
- Easy-to-Read Graduations:
- Precisely calibrated scale enables accurate interpretation of pressure readings.
- Dual-sided graduations for measuring pressure, vacuum, or differential pressures.
- Versatility:
- Compatible with various fluids (water, oil, mercury) to suit different pressure ranges and applications.
- Capable of measuring positive, negative (vacuum), or differential pressures.
- Customizable Options:
- Available in different sizes, tube diameters, and scales to match specific industrial requirements.
Working Principle
The U-Tube Manometer works on the principle of hydrostatic equilibrium. When pressure is applied to one or both ends of the U-tube, the liquid column in the tube is displaced. The height difference between the liquid levels in the two arms of the tube corresponds to the applied pressure difference. This height is measured using the graduated scale and converted into pressure units.

Would you like additional details on specifications, operating guidelines, or customization options?
- 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.
