Aneroid barometer: An instrument for measuring atmospheric pressure. It is constructed on the following principles: an aneroid capsule (Vidie capsule, which is a thin, disk-shaped box or capsule, usually metallic) is partially evacuated of gas, and is restrained from collapsing by an external or internal spring. The deflection of the spring will be nearly proportional to the difference between the internal and external pressures. Magnification of the spring deflection is obtained both by connecting capsules in series and by mechanical linkages. 5, record 1, English, - aneroid%20capsule

Le baromètre anéroïde (dit encore métallique) dont le capteur est constitué d'une capsule métallique étanche (la capsule de Vidi), à l'intérieur de laquelle on fait le vide. On mesure alors les déformations élastiques de cette capsule, fonctions des variations de pression; ce baromètre est un appareil de mesure relative qu'il convient d'étalonner avec soin et de contrôler régulièrement. 4, record 1, French, - capsule%20an%C3%A9ro%C3%AFde
