Question

A pitot-static probe will be used to measure the velocity
distribution in a water tunnel at 20°C. The two pressure
lines from the probe will be connected to a U-tube manometer
that uses a liquid of specifi c gravity 1.7. The maximum
velocity expected in the water tunnel is 2.3 m/s. Your job is
to select an appropriate U-tube from a manufacturer that
supplies manometers of heights 8, 12, 16, 24, and 36 in.
The cost increases signifi cantly with manometer height.
Which of these should you purchase?
