2-30. ANEROID BAROMETER.
a. Description. The aneroid barometer, designed to comply with the requirements specified in ASTM Method D86,
is wall mounted in the laboratory. It is a temperature-compensated instrument and is graduated in both English and
metric systems, from 26 to 31 inches (72mm to 78mm) of mercury. Pressure graduation is 0.10 inch (0.254 mm) of
mercury. It can be used for altitudes sea level to 3500 feet (1066 meters).
b. Operation. Figures on dials 26 through 31 represent inches of mercury, the standard means of expressing
atmospheric pressure. Read the indicating hand closest to the dial which responds readily to any change in atmospheric
pressure. Use the set hand to note any change in pressure. Position the set hand directly over the indicating hand. A
few hours after setting, note any change in pressure. A rise in pressure is indicated by movement of the indicating hand
to the right. A fall in pressure is indicated by movement of the indicating hand to the left.
