Applications of U-tube manometer(simple type of manometer):-

1.It is used for low range pressure measurements.

2.Extensively used in laboratories.

3 Is used in Orifice meter and Venturi meter for flow measurements.

4.It is used for calibration of gauges and other instruments.

5.It is used for measuring pressure drop in different joints and valves.
