Origin: Probably formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: minimum n., -metric comb. form.

Etymology: Probably < mini- (in minimum n.) + -metric comb. form.

Now historical.

Designating a method for the determination of carbon dioxide concentration in air by measuring the smallest volume of air needed to produce a precipitate of barium carbonate.

1868 R. A. Smith in Mem. Literary & Philos. Soc. Manch. 3rd Ser. 3 189 To this method of analysis I have given the name Minimetric. We ascertain the smallest amount of air required to produce a precipitate of a given density [in a quantity of baryta-water].

1898 Dict. National Biogr. LIII. 113/2 In April 1865 Smith proposed an ingenious ‘minimetric’ method of estimating carbonic acid in the air.

1902 Nature 13 Nov. 47/1 An application of the minimetric method to the examination of air.
