Wireless Pressure Sensor (Local Stock)

Description

The Wireless Pressure Sensor allows students to easily collect accurate gas pressure data for a wide range of applications. Included is a 60-cc syringe, tubing, and connectors that facilitate experiments such as Boyle’s Law, measuring pinch-grip strength, measuring hydrostatic pressure in water. Within PASCO’s software, students can easily select their desired units from a list containing kPa, mmHg, inHg, mbar, psi, atm, and torr.

The Teaching Advantage

Measures pressure relative to an internal sealed reference vacuum, which allows the collection of reliable data even when the pressure within a system drops below ambient pressure.
