Notes:
When designing or experimenting with time-responsive slant manometers requiring small bore, the capillary effects which can change the height of the meniscus need to be considered. This article explores the governing manometer-design equations and investigates each design parameter's role in causing a capillary height change. The most significant parameter is the tube's degree of incline from the vertical. As the tube is inclined from this position, the capillary effect is lessened, but must still be considered. The design equations derived below yield straightforward guidelines for limitations on a manometer tube's internal diameter.
