Example types with manometer
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
C." or the words "water column" are often printed on gauges and measurements that use water for the manometer. (19 words)
Liquid column main The difference in fluid height in a liquid column manometer is proportional to the pressure difference. (19 words)
Typically, a U-tube manometer is used, which directly shows the pressure difference between the container and the atmosphere. (19 words)
The mercury manometer, considered the gold standard, measures the height of a column of mercury, giving an absolute result without need for calibration and, consequently, not subject to the errors and drift of calibration which affect other methods. (38 words)
The most common choices are mercury (Hg) and water; water is nontoxic and readily available, while mercury's high density allows a shorter column (and so a smaller manometer) to be used to measure a given pressure. (37 words)
