Manometer on stand
Product Description
The Manometer on Stand is a precision laboratory instrument used to measure pressure differences in gases or liquids. It consists of a U-shaped or straight tube partially filled with a liquid (commonly mercury, water, or oil) mounted securely on a stable stand for ease of use and accurate readings. The manometer operates based on the principle of balancing pressure against the height of the liquid column. It is widely used in physics and engineering laboratories for experiments involving fluid mechanics, gas laws, and pressure calibration. The stand provides stability and convenient placement during measurements.
Primary Uses
Laboratory and Educational Applications
- Measuring pressure differences in gases and liquids.
- Demonstrating fluid pressure principles and gas laws in physics education.
- Calibrating and testing pressure sensors and gauges.
- Conducting experiments on atmospheric pressure and vacuum systems.
- Monitoring pressure in closed systems during laboratory experiments.
Secondary Uses
Industrial and Research Applications
- Pressure testing in industrial fluid systems.
- Used in HVAC and mechanical engineering laboratories.
Research involving fluid dynamics and pressure-related phenomena.
Basic Identification Attributes
- Material: Transparent glass or plastic tube filled with a suitable liquid.
- Stand: Stable, usually metal or plastic, providing secure mounting.
- Design: U-shaped or straight tube type depending on application.
Physical & Chemical Properties
- Liquid Fill: Mercury, water, oil, or other suitable fluids with known density.
- Transparency: Clear tube for easy liquid level observation.
- Durability: Resistant to typical laboratory handling; fragile if glass.
Safety & Hazard Attributes
- Handle with care due to fragile glass components.
- Mercury-filled manometers require careful handling due to toxicity risks.
Storage & Handling Attributes
- Store in a stable, vibration-free environment.
- Protect from breakage and contamination.
- Use appropriate PPE when handling mercury or hazardous liquids.
Regulatory & Compliance Attributes
- Compliant with laboratory safety and handling standards for hazardous materials.
Environmental & Health Impact
- Mercury-containing units require proper disposal to prevent environmental contamination.
Other liquid-filled manometers are generally environmentally safe with proper disposal.
Safety Handling Precautions
- Use gloves and eye protection when handling mercury or other hazardous fluids.
- Avoid spills and clean immediately if they occur.
First Aid Measures
- In case of mercury exposure, follow chemical spill protocols and seek medical advice.
- For cuts or glass breakage injuries, clean and treat wounds promptly.
Firefighting Measures
- Non-flammable.
Use appropriate extinguishing agents for surrounding materials if fire occurs.
