Advantages and disadvantages of monometer

There are some advantages of monometer which are given below.

• The monometer is suitable for low pressure applications.
• It has low cost.
• It is simple in construction.
• A manometer does not have to be calibrated against any standard, the pressure difference can be calculated from first principles.
• It has better sensitivity.
• The monometer is available for a large range of filling fluids of varying specific gravity.
  It has good accuracy.

There are some disadvantages of monometer which are given below.

• In monometers the error are introduced due to condensation.
• It is large in size and bulky.
• It has no over range protection.
• It needs leveling.
• It has slow response, which makes it unsuitable for measuring fluctuating pressures.
• No fixed reference is available.
• It has lack of portability.
