Q2) A U-tube manometer is used to determine the pressure drop across an orifice meter. The liquid flowing in the pipe line is a sulfiuric acid solution having a specific gravity (60/60°) of 1.250. The manometer liquid is mercury, with a specific gravity (60/60°) of 13.56. The manometer reading is 5.33 inches, and all parts of the system are at a temperature of 60 F. What is the pressure drop across the orifice meter in psi.
