Meassuring vacuum/pressure in a dustbin

How to meassure the vacuum/air pressure in an industrial dust collector ?
Is there any sensor that can be used to measure vacuum/air pressure in an
industrial dust collector ?


Industrial dust collectors like a giant vacuum cleaner with one or many
inlets and they are used to collect all sorts of dust/particles (metal
powders, fabric pieces, plasti granules, sand, etc..)

The simplest is the "U" tube. A piece of "U" shaped clear plastic pipe

filled with water. One end inserted in the plenum, the other to atmosphere.
No calibration neeeded and gives a direct reading in "inches of water"
vacuum-or-pressure. One inch of water is 1/28th of a PSI or .0024 bar etc
etc. Expect readings in the 1" or 2" region ...
