Any experience or air handling experts here?
I want to build a manometer to look at the pressure differential between the room and the inside of the chimney.
I know about the loop of colored fluid that shows the pressure differences, but the metal tube that goes into the chimney pipe is the difficulty. Should it be 90 deg cut-off end and does it have to go in very far? Or does it have the tip bent down toward the upcoming draft....or maybe just cut off at an angle?
I realize that soot might compromise the reading eventually.
But I would find it interesting to see the effect various wind conditions would have on the draft.
I thank you for reading this far, friends and would appreciate your thoughts.
