Course overview
The manometer is the simplest device for measuring pressure. While many types of manometers are available, they are all highly accurate and easy to use. They measure gauge pressure in a system. They also measure differential pressure between two points. The Manometers training course explains how the most common manometer types are used to measure pressure. This online course includes manometer description, manometer types, and factors affecting accuracy. Monometers is part of the Test Equipment training series.
