Abstract
Stability tests over periods ranging from 3 to 19 months have been carried out
on Paroscientific models 215-AT and 760-15A, AIR DB-1A, Rosemount 1201F1B,
Setra 270 and Heise 623 electronic barometers. The Paroscientific barometers had
the highest accuracy, stability, and price, and the lowest power consumption. The
Rosemount 1201FIB had excellent stability but high power consumption as well as
price. The AIR DB-1A and Setra 270 have good stability and moderate power
consumption and price. The tests are being expanded to include inexpensive sensors.
