Forms: 1700s–1800s gazometer, 1800s– gasometer.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French gazomètre.

Etymology: < French gazomètre (1789 in the passage translated in quot. 1790 at sense 1; < gaz gas n.¹ + -omètre -ometer comb. form), later remodelled after gas n.¹ (compare form variation at that entry). Compare gasometry n.

1. Chemistry. A piece of laboratory apparatus for holding and measuring gas. Now chiefly historical.

1790 R. Kerr tr. A. Lavoisier Elements Chem. 308 I give the name of gazometer to an instrument which I invented..for the purpose of a kind of bellows, which might furnish an uniform and continued stream of oxygen gas in experiments of fusion.

1831 T. P. Jones New Conversat. Chem. Gloss. Gasometer, an air holder, so constructed that the quantity of gas which it contains can be ascertained or measured.

1874 tr. E. Lommel Nature of Light (ed. 4) 6 Through the middle of this runs a..narrow tube, which..conducts oxygen from an adjoining gasometer.

1901 Brit. Med. Jrnl. 2 Feb. 19/2 The subject was seated in a large solenoid or cage, and expired through a gasometer.

1992 W. H. Brock Fontana Hist. Chem. iii. 126 An array of eudiometers, gasometers, combustion globes and ice calorimeters, which would enable precise quantitative data to be assembled.

2. A large metal tank or reservoir, typically cylindrical, in which fuel gas is stored before being supplied to consumers through pipes. Cf. gas holder n. at gas n.¹ and adj. Compounds 3.
