  Sustainable Hospitals - Mercury Fact Sheets
Aneroid sphygmomanometers are comparable to mercury sphygmomanometers in cost, technique and performance.
Some medical professionals have concerns that aneroid sphygmomanometers are easily damaged during use, resulting in inaccuracy due to the device being dropped or bumped and knocked out of calibration.
Concerns about dropping aneroid devices can be alleviated by purchasing aneroid sphygmomanometers as either wall-mounted units or mounted on mobile stands, comparable to the mercury sphygmomanometers, rather than selecting portable aneroid devices.

  Barometer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A simple aneroid barometer can be made using a latex membrane from a glove or balloon stretched over the mouth of a bottle and held in place with a rubber band.
This pressure is then converted to an equivalent sea-level pressure for purposes of reporting and for adjusting aircraft altimeters (as aircraft may fly between regions of varying normalized atmospheric pressure owing to the presence of weather systems).
Aneroid barometers have a mechanical adjustment for altitude that allows the equivalent sea level pressure to be read directly and without further adjustment if the instrument is not moved to a different altitude.

The aneroid capsule, which is the device that moves with changes in air pressure, is made from an alloy of beryllium and copper.
By arranging for the aneroid capsule to push or pull on a point near the pivot of a see-saw-like lever, the movement of the capsule is greatly magnified at the far end of the lever.
All aneroid barometers come with a zeroing screw to adjust the initial position of the sweep indicator to be the same barometric pressure as that of a very precise standard barometer kept at the factory.

The aneroid barograph consists of a slowly rotating cylinder with paper on it that can give up to a week's worth of air pressure records before new paper is needed.
The aneroid barometer has some advantages over a mercury barometer because it is much smaller and can also record a week's worth of data.
The aneroid barometer is the heart of altimeters used in modern aviation.

 Australian Exploration and the Introduction of the Aneroid Barometer
the Aneroid as a useful instrument for all the ordinary purposes to which a barometer is applied, or where scientific results are not required.
Clarke compared the four aneroids with three mountain barometers, ‘sufficiently often, and under a range of nearly an inch of pressure during the period of the experiments’ that he felt the aneroids indicated the changes of the atmosphere ‘with as much precision’ as the mountain barometers.
In 1852, Flavelle Brothers offered the ‘new aneroid barometers, with metallic plates and attached thermometers’.(25) These were among a large assortment of instruments directed to ‘Gentlemen engaged in, or having a taste for, scientific pursuits’.

 Bureau-Bureau of Meteorology - The Aneroid Barometer
The aneroid barometer is operated by a metal cell containing only a very small amount of air, or a series of such cells joined together.
One side is fixed to the base of the instrument while the other is connected by means of a system of levers and pulleys to a rotating pointer that moves over a scale on the face of the instrument.
The aneroid barometer (above) consists of a closed sealed capsule with flexible sides.

 Sustainable Hospitals - Tips for Procuring Aneroid Sphygmomanometers
An aneroid sphygmomanometer is a mechanical gage with a round dial and needle that rotates to indicate pressure from 0-300 mm Hg.
On the inside, a bellows and spring mechanism senses and transmits the blood pressure measurement to the dial.
The dial of an aneroid gage is much easier to read and requires considerably less effort than the meniscus of a mercury column, which requires awkward head movement to do a good job.

 The Maintenance of an Aneroid Sphygmomanometer
Aneroid blood pressure gauges are generally smaller than mercury ones but they are easily damaged and can go out of calibration without detection.
A common type of aneroid apparatus is shown in figure 1.
Every aneroid blood pressure gauge should be compared with a well maintained mercury sphygmomanometer on a regular basis.
