The Edu-Logger pressure sensor can be used for any
science experiment or activity which requires an
accurate pressure measurement such as in the fields of
Physics, Biology, Physiology, Microbiology, Botany,
Weather Science, etc.
The sensor comes pre-calibrated so you can start
experimentation right out of the box using this guide.
Both the pressure and barometer sensors measure
pressure however the pressure sensor is much easier to
connect to lab ware such as syringes, beakers, and test
tubes whereas the barometer sensor is ideal for testing
atmospheric pressure in the open or in large
containers. A hose with an attachment piece come
connected to the sensor to make connections to
various mediums easier.
Hundreds of possible experiments that can be done
with the 900-210 sensors are: Boyle’s Law, Gay-
Lussac’s Law for ideal gases, weather phenomena,
yeast and microbe fermentation, small animal exercise
physiology, chemical reactions, and many more.
The pressure sensor is capable of measuring in four
different units of measure:
Kilopascal (kPa): The SI unit of pressure.
Atmospheres (atm): A pressure unit equal to
one earth atmosphere at sea level (101.325
kPa)
Pounds per square inch (psi): The unit of
pressure which measures the amount of force
(in pounds) a gas or liquid exerts across one
square inch
Bar: A non-SI unit equal to exactly 100 kPa
