    Piezometer is a simple device used to measure gauge pressure in a fluid by using the hydrostatic pressure from a column of liquid. It works by connecting a glass tube to the point where pressure needs to be measured. The rise of liquid in the tube represents the piezometric head, and the gauge pressure can be calculated using the density, gravity, and height in the tube. Piezometers can accurately measure pressures above atmosphere in liquids but not gases or below atmosphere. They are economical and simple to use but only suitable for a single point and require the liquid to be clean and non-toxic.

    Piezometer

    Piezometer is the simplest form of simple manometer which is used to


    measure the gauge pressure of a fluid in a container by using the concept of
    hydrostatic pressure.
    Piezometer is only suitable to measure the pressure of fluid in a container, if
    pressure in the container is more than the atmospheric pressure i.e. Gauge
    pressure.
    Let us consider we have one container filled with a liquid and we need to
    measure the pressure of liquid at point A in the container. Let us consider that
    we are using the pressure measuring device “Piezometer” here to measure the
    pressure of liquid at point A as displayed here in following figure

    Pressure measuring instruments:

    Piezometer

    Simple U-tube manometer

    U-tube differential manometer

    Types of piezometer
    1)standpipe piezometer
    2)pneumatic piezometer
    3) hydraulic piezometer
    Rise of liquid in the glass tube of Piezometer will provide us the pressure head
    at point A and could be written as mentioned here. Rise of liquid in the glass
    tube of Piezomter will also be termed as Piezomteric head
    Gauge pressure at point A = ρ x g x h
    Where,
    ρ = Density of liquid
    g = Acceleration due to gravity
    h = Rise of liquid in Piezometer glass tube

     Advantages of Piezometer tubes


    There are following advantages of using Piezometer tube for measuring the
    pressure at a point of fluid in a container and these are as mentioned here.
    1. Technique of using Piezometer is very simple
    2. Pressure measurement with Piezometer tube is quite economical
    3. Piezometer tube will provide the accurate pressure reading
    4. Disadvantages of Piezometer tubes
    5. There are following disadvantages of using Piezometer tube for
    measuring the pressure at a point of fluid in a container and these are as
    mentioned here.
    6. Piezometer tube will only be used for measuring the pressure at a point
    of liquid. It could not be used to measure the pressure at a point of gas.
    In simple, Piezometer tube will not be used to measure the pressure of
    gas.

     Limitation of Piezometer:

    i. One end of tube is open to atmosphere , therefore it measures only


    gauge pressure.
    ii. It is not suitable for vacuum pressure.
    iii. To measure large pressure with lighter liquid would require very long
    tube.
    iv. It cannot measure pressure of gas.

     Application of Piezometer
    A Piezometer is an instrument used to measure the pressure of groundwater,
    in dams, pipes, and other conduits, allowing its properties to be monitored and
    controlled when faced with an excavation, borehole, or drainage. It is an
    essential tool to carry out this type of work with safety and precision.

     Calculations

    P1=SGxrwxh1 (SG=1,H1=0.18)
    1 x 9.81 x 0.18
    1.7658

    P2= SGx rw x h2 (SG=1,H2=0.43)


    1 x 9.81 x 0.43
    = 4.2183 KN/m²

    P3=SGx rw x h3 (SG=1,H3=0.33)
    P = 1 x 9.81 x 0.33
    P = 3.2373 KN/m²

     Advantages of Piezometer tubes

    1. There are following advantages of using Piezometer tube for measuring


    the pressure at a point of fluid in a container and these are as mentioned
    here.
    2. Technique of using Piezometer is very simple
    3. Pressure measurement with Piezometer tube is quite economical
    4. Piezometer tube will provide the accurate pressure reading
     Disadvantages of Piezometer tubes

    1. There are following disadvantages of using Piezometer tube for


    measuring the pressure at a point of fluid in a container and these are as
    mentioned here
    2. Piezometer tube will only be used for measuring the pressure at a point
    of liquid. It could not be used to measure the pressure at a point of gas.
    In simple, Piezometer tube will not be used to measure the pressure of
    gas.
    3. Piezometer tube will not be used to measure the negative pressure.
    Therefore pressure at point A, where we are measuring the pressure,
    must be greater than the atmospheric pressure Liquid will be exposed to
    atmosphere in Piezometer tube and therefore liquid must be clean and
    non-toxic.
    4. Insensitive when piezometeric head will be small as it will be very
    difficult to measure the pressure if piezometeric head will be small
    1)first site visit

    2)second site visit 3)third site visit

    Conclusion: After following the actual procedure and following the method of
    determining pressure by piezometer meter we have found that pressure at taps
    are 1.7658KN/m2, 4.2183KN/m2, 3.2373KN/m2. And the fluid flowing from the
    tap is water having specific gravity 1.
