A single leg mercury manometer (as shown in the figure) is often used to measure differential pressure through reading of a single column only. A constant zero of the scale is adopted for all pressures. The diameter of the cistern when the indicated mercury column H is to be within 0.5% of the true height corresponding to a pressure differential of (p2 - P1) is given as kd then k is (Round off to next higher integer.) Cistern H Zero level AH for (p- P2) =0 Mercury
