Product Summary
The Wireless Pressure Sensor allows students to easily collect accurate gas pressure data for a wide range of applications. Included is a 60cc syringe, tubing, and connectors that facilitate experiments such as Boyle's Law or measuring pinch-grip strength. 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.
- Supports common units (kPa, atm, psi, mmHg, or N/m2) for many applications.
- Features Bluetooth® wireless connectivity and long-lasting rechargeable battery.
Perform These Experiments
