The Labtronic Manometer unit is comprised of two experimental sets - one designed to measure pressure using various methods and the other used to calibrate pressure gauge devices. This unit allows students to accurately measure pressure through the use of a U-tube manometer. Positive or negative pressure causes the fluid within the U-tube to move up or down, and the difference between the two columns of the manometer is read using fixed scales located on the trainer panel and next to each tube of the manometer.
In order to obtain precise readings, inclined tube manometers are also provided alongside the U-tube manometer. These consist of one vertical and one inclined tube, allowing for a different type of pressure measurement. Two Bourdon tube pressure gauges are also available for measuring both positive and negative pressure.
The Labtronic Manometer unit provides students with the opportunity to experiment with pressure without requiring any specialized tools to act on the pressure, as pressures can be easily adjusted using a syringe. Furthermore, the unit includes a calibration device which allows for the calibration of additional Bourdon tube pressure gauges using a weight-loaded piston manometer.
Manometer unit experiment different pressure measuring instruments and to verify the theoretical manometer equation for measurement of pressure.
Pressure of a fluid is the normal force exerted by a fluid on a unit area. The pressure will be either absolute pressure or a gauge pressure. Absolute pressure is measured relative to an absolute zero pressure, whereas gauge pressure is measured relative to the local atmospheric pressure. Absolute pressures are positive, but gauge pressure can be either positive (above atmospheric pressure) or negative (below atmospheric pressure).
