TO TEST AND ADJUST GAS (WATER COLUMN [W.C.]) PRESSURE
There are two (2) types of devices commonly used to measure water column pressure. They are spring/
mechanical type gauges and manometers. The spring/mechanical type gauge is not recommended
because it is easily damaged and not always accurate. A manometer is simply a glass or transparent
plastic tube with a scale in inches, which when filled with water and pressure is applied, the water in the
tube rises, showing the exact water column pressure.
