The Manometer is typically presented with four or seven stations and scaled to 30" or 60" of water column. These models usually cover the vacuum monitoring needs of a forming table.

Each unit is made of a 316 stainless steel body frame with a white plastic backing plate and a clear plastic face plate showing a graduated vacuum scale in black. The clear plastic face plate allows the operator to observe red automatic transmission fluid elevate within a glass sight tube. The transmission fluid spans a larger scale than water because of its density, thus allowing an "expanded scale". This expanded scale provides a prominent visual readout of the vacuum level from across the machine.

Flexible vacuum instrument tubing is attached to each station glass sight tube and routed to the individual forming table vacuum box. The vacuum present in the box is instantaneously relayed to the vacuum manometer glass sight tube, thus adjusting the fluid for the operator to view against the graduated scale.

The transmission fluid is contained in a common stainless steel reservoir located on the bottom of the AES Manometer. All glass sight tubes bottom out in this reservoir, allowing fluid to be drawn up into view. The reservoir filler plugs also serve as vents to allow for proper barometric operation.
