The altimeter

The pressure measured is static pressure and so is independent of the airspeed of the aeroplane. The principle of operation is that a compressible, sealed metal canister contains a fixed amount of air. When the external air pressure reduces (as the aeroplane's altitude increases), the canister expands.
