aneroid barometer
A barometer which measures atmospheric pressure using one or a series of aneroid capsules Also called holosteric barometer
aneroid barometer
instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure
aneroid barometer
A device to measure air pressure that uses an aneroid, which is a sealed, flexible metal bellows with some air removed that expands and contracts with air pressure changes
aneroid barometer
an instrument for measuring atmospheric pressure in which a needle, attached to the top of an evacuated box, is deflected as changes in atmospheric pressure cause the top of the box to bend in or out
