Product Summary
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.
Features
- Measures pressure even when the pressure within the system drops below ambient pressure

Advanced Placement • College • High School / Physics
Students use a pressure sensor and a syringe to determine the inverse proportionality between the pressure and volume of an enclosed gas.
Advanced Placement / Chemistry
In this lab, students use temperature, pH, and conductivity sensors to explore chemical and physical changes and analyze them for ambiguity. This lab helps students improve their understanding of sensors and representing reactions...
High School / Physical Science • Physics
Use an absolute pressure sensor to observe the relationship between volume and pressure of an enclosed gas at constant temperature.
Middle School / Life Science
In this lab, students will use absolute pressure sensors to measure changes in air pressure within a model “chest cavity” while causing the syringe "diaphragm" to change its volume.
Advanced Placement / Chemistry
In this lab. students use a pressure sensor and temperature sensor to explore several variables that affect the rate of a chemical reaction.
Middle School / Physical Science
In this lab, students will use fast response temperature sensors and absolute pressure sensors to measure changes in the temperature of an endothermic reaction and the temperature and pressure changes of an exothermic reaction.
