Pressure measurements

Post by inayath »

I am looking for sensor to measure pressure of air at the range of 4-6 bar. Can you please suggest the sensors suited for my application

Up to 0.03hPa / 0.25m resolution

That's 3 Pascal, which is 0.000030000000000000004 bar.

Pressure sensor conductive sheets are not suitable for precision measurements. There are many manufacturers of pressure sensors that operate in the 4-6 bar range. Freescale has a good selection: http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/sit ... RE_SENSORS
