Overview
A temperature-compensated aneroid movement drives the dial of this Weems & Plath barometer, which comes in a brass case with a mounting plate and instructions. The scales read in inches and millibars, and the movement can be adjusted.
Brass construction and a small footprint suit a boat cabin or a snug wall. The dial measurement appears as two different figures, and calibration covers lower altitudes only unless a special version is ordered.
Who it's for
Cabin walls and boat interiors where brass and a dial look right are the intended places. People who live above the calibrated altitude, or who want electronic readouts, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Adjustable aneroid movement
- Two scales on the dial
- Mounting plate and instructions included
- Dial size listed two ways
- Calibrated for lower altitudes only
- Analog only, no digital readout
Performance notes
A sealed capsule flexes as pressure rises and falls, and that motion moves the pointer. Temperature compensation limits drift as the room warms or cools, and the adjustment lets the reading be matched to a known local pressure.
