In a Closed End Manometer?

A closed-end manometer is a U-shaped tube with one closed arm, one arm that connects to the gas to be measured, and a nonvolatile liquid (usually mercury) in between. ... In this case, the distance between the liquid levels corresponds to the difference in pressure between the gas in the container and the atmosphere.

What is the pressure equal to in a closed end manometer?

If the closed end of the tube contains a vacuum, then the pressure at point C is zero, and atmospheric pressure is equal to the pressure exerted by the weight of the column of liquid of height h. In this case, the manometer can be used as a barometer to measure atmospheric pressure.
