Differential Manometer 1.Introduction Differential manometers are used to measure the difference of pressures between two points in a pipe or in two different pipes. There are two types of differential manometers.             1.   U-tube upright differential manometer             2.   U-tube inverted differential manometer 1.2  U-tube Upright Differential Manometer It is used to measure pressure difference at two points in a pipe or between two pipes at different levels. Case 1 - U-tube upright differential manometer connected at two points in a pipe at same level The construction and arrangement of a manometer connected at two different points, A and B, of a pipe is shown in figure 1                              Fig.1U-tube upright differential manometer    Let,          ρ 1  = densit...
