Sensor gas dependence
The sensor technology is based on measurement of thermal conductivity and consequently its reading depends on
gas and gas concentration.
The transmitter sensor is per factory default calibrated for Nitrogen gas and shown below is the TTR 91 N and
TTR 96 N MEMS Pirani reading for different gas types. Be aware that when measuring in environments where
other gases than nitrogen (calibration gas) are present, the readings can deviate from the true pressure.
In the range below 1 mbar, the pressure indication is linear. For gases other than air, the pressure can be
determined by means of a simple conversion formula:
