| | | | The aneroid barometer was invented by, Lucien Vidie, in 1843. The principle of the aneroid barometer is the change in height of a sealed metallic chamber which has flexible upper and lower surfaces. Aneroid barometers are less susceptible to shock and the transport problems associated with mercury instruments. All movements are tested and can calibrated to sea level.

| | | | For over hundreds of years the mercury stick barometers were the most accurate way to measure air pressure and indicate changes in the weather. But 21st century safety legislation banning the use of mercury necessitated the invention of an alternative, and these exciting new, mercury-free, instruments are the result of extensive laboratory research and development. |
