State
A manometer measures a trapped gas's pressure from the height difference between its two liquid columns.
Show
A closed-end manometer references a vacuum; an open-end manometer references the atmosphere and must add or subtract atmospheric pressure.
Watch for
Ignoring which arm holds the reference, vacuum or atmosphere, gives the wrong gas pressure from the same height reading.
