The aneroid barographs are precision instruments for continuos recording of atmospheric pressure. In comparison with the values of atmospheric pressure read on mercury barometers, those obtained by aneroids are independent of the resp. ambient temperature and gravitational acceleration so that the corrections customary with mercury barometers are not applicable. Thus, aneroid barographs are used everywhere, where there's quick determination of momentary atmospheric pressure of interest, in connection with observation and documentation of barometric pressure.

As measuring element serves a set of aneroid boxes of highly qualified material, which is free of aging and after-effects to an especially high extent. Alteration in length of this latter, depending upon barometric pressure is transmitted to the pen arm, via a lever mechanism, which, thus, records the course of atmospheric pressure in a steady curve on the paper strip, placed tightly around a vertically arranged drum. An over the whole range exact functioning temperature compensation is obtained by means of a bimetal strip intercalated in the transmitting system.

The pen rests against the chart with an always equal pressure, by the proper weight of the pen arm and may be lifted-off from without. By means of a device for time-marks that can be operated from outside, certain moments of time, as for instance, checking to schedule of indication, may be marked on the diagram, in that, by pressure upon a button, projecting from the lateral wall, the pen effects a short vertical stroke.

As mean atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing height, barographs must always be adjusted to the height of the place of mounting. There is the possibility to readjust and recalibrate the instrument for different heights above see-level at a calibration institute or at factory.

According to choice, time of rotation of the drum may be one week or one day. Generally, the recordings best to survey are those of one week's rotation. Against additional charge there can be supplied change gear wheels. The time of running of the driving mechanism is appr. 9 days in every case.

No. 78a Normal Barograph

This Barograph is the preferently used type in national and foreign weather stations and in other places of climatological interest. It registers atmospheric pressure at a height of recording of 0.75 mm for 1 hPa; the limits of error amount to ±0.3 hPa.
 
78a - NormalbarographIThe instrument is supplied in a metal casing, which has been provided with a very resistant laquered finish.

It is equipped with a high quality set of nine aneroid boxes as well as complete temperature compensation in the total pressure measuring range and usable at local heights from -50 to +5700 m, referring to sea level resp . usable between 445 and 1060 hPa. The instrument will be delivered adjusted from factory in a suitable measuring range.

Time of drum rotation: daily or weekly    

Range: 105 hPa (mbar)



78a NormalbarographRecording drum:
     Ø 93.3 mm, height: 93 mm
     time of running: app. 9 days
     Recording height for 1 hPa: 0.75 mm
     Recording height total: 79mm for 105 hPa

Accessories:
     1 fiber pen
     1 set of recording charts (100 charts for daily or weekly rotation)







No. 78bm Large Barograph

78BMThis barograph for precision-measurement, as compared to the normal barograph 78a, has the double scale of recording. A corresponding larger number of aneroid-boxes (12 pieces) guarantees measuring accuracy for recording height of 1.5 mm for 1 hPa; the limits of error amount to ±0.2 hPa.

Because of its increased accuracy of reading this instrument has found large introduction in flying, as well as in many meteorological stations. It is used with preference everywhere there, where the more accurate determination of atmospheric pressure and the tendency of the course of atmospheric pressure is of importance.

No. 78m Microbarograph

The Microbarograph 78m is a highly sensitive measuring instrument for especially sensible and precise recording of atmospheric pressure. Owing to the great height of pen travel of 3.8 mm, for every hPa (mbar) of alteration in pressure, also slightest variations of pressure and fine structurees are well to be made out and read with a accuracy of ± 0.1 hPa (mbar).

As model 78m the measuring system is mounted on a solid light-metal socle, on which the glazed protective fine wood casing is resting.

The set of aneroid cells consists of fifteen single cells which, to a high degree, are free from ageing and hysteresis, because best-suited materials are chosen, only, and owing to a special thermic treatment. Frictional resistances of the transmitting system has been reduced to a minimum by most careful manufacture of the bearing beds and by arranging the aneroid cells ina hanging kind of way. A small vibrator generates a slight, hardly sensible vibration of the housing and the measuring system, which contributes to a further reduction in bearing friction, and to an increase in accuracy and sensibility of pen adjustment.
The aneroid cells are protected against dust and damage by a metal tube.

The Microbarograph 78m is supplied in 12 types for different site of installation between -1200 and +4600 meters. Seven ranges of 66 hPa each one displaced from the following by 13.3 hPa, may be covered without new calibration, so that the total range comprices 146 hPa. The  adjustment  of  the  seven  ranges  for  the  place  of  installation  is  effected  in  a  way,  which is as quick and easy, as it is sensitive, by turning the setting screw arranged above the set of aneroid cells which is equipped with a correspondingly numbered, divisioned disc arrangement. If  occasionally  occurs  extrema  of  pressure  variation  the  customer  can  use  the  above  described device to select the suitable range of 66 hPa (mbar) within the total range of 146 hPa (mbar).
