DWYER INSTRUMENTS 477B-7 Handheld Digital Manometer

Dwyer Instruments 477B-7 handheld digital manometer measures the pressure and flows in a patient's airway. Because the manometer is extremely precise, it is frequently used as a calibration standard, ideal for applications in HVAC system maintenance, fluid flow measurements and commercial furnace gas valve pressure measurement applications. This digital manometer is a portable, handheld meter that can monitor small changes in differential pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What pressure does a manometer measure?

A. Manometers are precise devices used to measure pressure which is defined as the force produced by a gas or liquid per unit of surface area due to the effects of gravity on the weight of that gas or liquid.

Q. What liquid is used in a manometer?

A. The most common fluids are alcohol, water and mercury.

Q. Why is alcohol used in a manometer?

A. Because of its low density, alcohol allows for a longer column than other fluids in manometers. It also gives the inclined tube a proper meniscus.
