This document discusses an inclined manometer, which is a pressure measuring device that helps amplify pressure readings, especially in low pressure ranges. It consists of a tube with one end open to the pressure being measured and the other end open to the atmosphere. The pressure difference is proportional to the height difference of the liquid columns in the two legs of the tube. This provides an amplified reading of the pressure compared to a U-tube manometer due to the inclined angle of the tube. The inclined manometer allows for easier measurement of small pressure differences.
