Hydrostatics
and Manometry
- Hydrostatics
- The study of pressures
exerted by any fluid at
rest.
- Principle: Pressure
increases with
increasing depth.
- Useful Equation
- F = pgh, where F is hydrostatic
force, p is density of fluid, g is
gravity and h is height of fluid.
- F = PA, where
F is hydrostatic
force, P is
pressure, and
A is surface
are the fluid
acts upon.
- F = pgh, where F is hydrostatic
force, p is density of fluid, g is
gravity and h is height of fluid.
- The study of pressures
exerted by any fluid at
rest.
- Manometers
- Piezometer
- The simplest form of
manometer. Not
practical to use to
measure gas pressure.

- Differential Manometer
- Cannot
measure but
can
measure
pressure
difference.
- Cannot
measure but
can
measure
pressure
difference.
- Open Manometer
- A tube bent into U-shape
designed to contain two or
more fluids. It is used to
measure pressure of different
fluids.

- Piezometer
- Industrial Applications
- Concept of manometry can
be used to measure the
pressure difference in
different wells and
production/injection.
- The pressure difference can
be used to find the flow
rate/production of oil from a
reservoir.
- Different type of
manometry's
concepts can be
applied in different
type of reservoir to
achieve optimum
production/flow rate.
- Concept of manometry can
be used to measure the
pressure difference in
different wells and
production/injection.
