The aneroid barometer was named after the Greek word anēros, meaning "not liquid," in contrast to the mercury barometer. This type of elastic pressure gauge was later developed into the Bourdon tube pressure gauge, which was invented independently by M. Schinz and Eugéne Bourdon (1808-1884). It was useful for measuring steam pressure in steam engines at the time, and paved the way for its widespread use in industry. *Some of the terminology that mentions "Bourdon, E." is listed below.

…水銀気圧計に対して,〈液体でない〉の意味のギリシア語anērosから,ビディはこれをアネロイド型気圧計aneroid barometerと名付けた。この種の弾性圧力計は49年シンツM.SchinzとブルドンEugéne Bourdon(1808‐84)によってそれぞれ独立に発明されたブルドン管圧力計に発展し,当時の蒸気機関の蒸気圧測定に役だつとともに,工業一般に広く応用される道を開いた。 ※「Bourdon,E.」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
