ANTIQUE BAROMETER – 8.25 INCH – YTEC ANEROID – RUSSIAN – USSR. This beautiful piece came a collection of antique marine items. I’m a mariner and these barometers where standard equipment on Russian ships in the Soviet Era I was Captain of the former soviet drillship “Muravlenko” and it had one of these. This is likely a 1950s or early 60s as precision androids came into use, replacing these vintage traditional aneroid. It could be earlier as the design has not changed much since introduction. The instrument reads in mb and centigrade and mm/Hg. The standard unit of atmospheric pressure is the atmosphere (atm). One standard atmosphere, which is also referred to as one atmosphere is equivalent to.
