Manometry to determine static pressure in a pipe.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on using manometry to determine static pressure in a pipe, with an emphasis on the need to account for atmospheric pressure at point A, which is open to the atmosphere. Participants confirm that gauge pressure should be considered in the calculations. There is a request for validation of an attempted solution provided by the original poster. The conversation highlights the importance of recognizing atmospheric pressure in pressure measurements. Overall, the thread emphasizes the correct application of manometry principles in fluid dynamics.

pB needs atmospheric pressure added since A is open to the atmosphere.
 
asks for gauge pressure? but thanks for your contribution
