Instrument in which the excess of pressure and suction associated with the action of the wind on tube openings are combined to operate the float of a manometer.

CONT

[A] pressure-tube anemometer [is] an anemometer which derives wind speed from measurements of dynamic wind pressures. Wind blowing into a tube develops a pressure greater than the static pressure, while wind blowing across a tube develops a pressure less than the static. This pressure differential, which is proportional to the square of the wind speed, is measured by a suitable manometer. [e.g.:] anemo-biagraph, Dines anemometer, Pitot tube.
