    This document describes an inclined differential manometer used to measure pressure. It connects a narrow tube to a reservoir at an angle. Changes in pressure cause the liquid level in the reservoir to drop and rise in the tube. The relationship between the changes in liquid levels is determined based on conservation of volume displaced. Specifically, the difference in liquid heights (h) in the tube is equal to the change in reservoir liquid level (Δh) multiplied by the ratio of the tube and reservoir cross-sectional areas. In practice, the reservoir area is much larger, simplifying the equation to h = L sinθ, where L is the length of the inclined tube.
