Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A gas pipeline is connected to an inclined manometer with a reading of 150 mm of oil (specific gravity 0.80) at an angle of 25 degrees. Calculate the corresponding gauge pressure in Pascals.
💡 Hint: Don't forget to convert mm to meters.
You have an inclined manometer showing 120 mm deflection of water and 80 mm of oil (specific gravity 0.85) in different segments. Determine the total pressure difference between the two fluids at the entry point.
💡 Hint: Use the relation of specific gravities effectively while converting measurements.
