The aneroid measures elevation and air pressure has an airtight chamber that is sensetive to changes in the air pressures. Hope this helps.

Why partially evacuated chamber is used in aneroid barometre?

A partially evacuated chamber is used in an aneroid barometer because changes in atmospheric pressure will cause the flexible chamber to expand or contract, which is then measured and indicated on the barometer dial. This mechanism allows the aneroid barometer to measure variations in air pressure without the need for a liquid-filled chamber like in a traditional mercury barometer.
