To get gauge pressure with a differential transducer, just leave one side open to atmosphere.

I am guessing he is interested in pressure he can use, and since you can't use pressure over 60 PSI, there is no need for anything more. This is an inexpensive solution to his problem. Omega offers others, but they are more expensive.

Nick, I can get you a sensor that will measure to 250 psi (gauge), 99% or 99.5% accurate (I forget -- I'll have to check tomorrow), has a 1/4" NPT fitting and is powered by 5V. PM me if interested.

Cheers,
-Neil.

I'm interested... Who makes this wonderful device? Part number? Price?

Actually, 125PSI is the required min rated pressure (not 150PSI).

Around $100 each from Digi-Key in single piece quantities.

but, all pneumatic components MUST be rated to over 150 psi...

be careful
