Abstract: In the Measurement Mans Corner of Gas Magazine in April, 1967, it was stated, If the gas measurement science could be represented by a corpse, upon dissection the heart would turn out to be a manometer. Accurate gas measurement depends on precise measurement of small pressures and differential pressures I arge volumes of gas are bought and sold every day. Therefore, the utmost accuracy is desired in our measurement of these volumes. For this reason, the manometer is of prime importance to the gas measurement industry. The simplicity, inherent accuracy and versatility of manometers lend them to broad application in calibration, trouble shooting, and meter maintenance leak testing. Because manometers are basically simple, they are often overshadowed by newer, more sophisticated devices or methods. However, there is more to manometry than is universally recognized. A review of manometer principles and practices is in order. Unless we know those factors affecting accuracy, we cannot utilize the manometer and its advantages to the fullest. Also, by understanding manometers more completely, wc are able to apply a manometer even though the specific application may nol have been described to us previously.
