- Our president at Weems & Plath, Peter Trogdon, takes time to show how to calibrate a few of our barometers. This video is helpful in showing how to determine what the pressure of the barometer should be set to and how to adjust it.
Thank you Peter, pressure tested an oldie that'd been kicking around , a Taylor, now can calibrate!
Thanks Peter most helpful we have a Cyclone currently brewing off the coast of Queensland Australia I'll be watching for the changes on my analog weather station Happy New Year
Thank you so much. I’ve changed home and I thought my barometer was broken.
In the US, weather forecasts are amazing, I lived there a couple of years, even broadcasts to like 10 days ahead are done with a lot of accuracy. In Europe, central Europe even, my God it is bad...people here can't even predict two days ahead, no joke. Best weather forecast you have here is having your own barometer.
Weather forecast here in central Europe is EXCELLENT for three days. At least as precise as in the US. But there are a lot of people in the US who think that everything is much better in the USA than anywhere else. But this is simply not true.
Just calibrated the Schatz barometer I bought on Craigslist for $25 - thought it was broken before finding this video.
Very helpful video -- succinct and "just the facts" -- Thank You!
Thank you, this was very helpful.
Great video!
Worth mentioning that most of the time bad weather does not cause a barometer drop. Small systems bring rain/snow/clouds without a drop in the atmospheric pressure, in fact these small systems may actually cause an increase in atmospheric pressure. It's mostly the larger systems that will cause a pressure drop. In other words., most of the time these barometers are worthless.
Is it best to calibrate barometers when the atmospheric pressure is in the middle of the barometer’s measuring range? I calibrated mine when the atmospheric pressure was about 29.42 inHg and now it’s off when it’s 29.79 inHg. In know all instruments have some error and was just wondering if the middle range would be the best sweet spot.
Thanks for this info 👍
Very informative, thanks for the video!
Great vidio... can you tell me why I have 3 pointers o my barometer red black silver.
I bought a decoration one that looks like a steering wheel ship.. I want to keep it inside wood air conditioning give me a false reading???? does it need to be outside??????
Thanks! I do it daily as pressure changes?
What is total workdone by this aneroid barometer in terms of energy in joules
if your barometer is at some hight like it is on the ships usually 25 m above sea lever , how we calibrate for that ?
Hi. Thank you for your question. We recommend reading "The Barometer Handbook" by David Burch. It's written by one of the leading meteo-instrument experts in the country and should help answer any questions you have. You can find it on our website: www.weems-plath.com/Barometer-Handbook.html
How much workdone by barometer ? In joules?
Aneroid barometer do how much work in joules?
If we make a 10000000x bigger models then will it turned a turbine or not ?
I have my grandfathers salem bells barometer. It doesnt have a set needle. How do i calibrate it? Thank you
Hello! If you have a Weems & Plath barometer, please reach out to our Customer Service team and they would be happy to help you calibrate it: support@weems-plath.com or 410-263-9697
The purpose of a barometer calibration is to detect atmospheric pressure perturbation resulting from a change in weather.
Here i an 10 years later and the pressure is 30.13. Hasn't changed much in 10yrs

Question: I got a fishing barometer. Pretty similar settings and look; metal case, etc. There are two needles: (1) the one you adjust with the screw as you were showing and (2) on the glass. What's the one on the glass for and does need any adjustment? Thanks
All barometers have two needles. One is the indicator needle that is adjusted to the pressure with a screwdriver from behind the movement. The other is the moveable needle that is adjusted by turning a knob on the face of the barometer and should be placed over the indicator needle to mark any barometric change in pressure.
I guess the people that make the barometers don't get along with the people that make the knobs , maybe they could call up the cogswells and stick a cog on there instead of a knob . If that doesn't work they could maybe call Spacely and put a little sprocket on there . Give em a call and ask for George . Just tell him you want to be able to calibrate your barometer without having to use a mangled letter opener .
Pressure in forecasts etc relates to sea level, not the height you happen to be!
that is not calibration. That is setting
Pretty easy hum. Now is there a real scientific way to do it when you know the airport equipment is wrong?
If you have access to a pressure calibrator, such as a Heise PTE-2 ($1,500 or so), use that.
