==Technical Details==

The Differential Gas Pressure Sensor uses bipolar processing to provide an accurate, high level analog input signal that is proportional to the applied pressure.
When the sensor is plugged in, the SensorValue should default to about 40, which corresponds to 0 kPa between the two ports.

===Ports===
The sensor comes with a positive top port and a negative bottom port. These ports have a diameter of 2.79mm to 3.30 mm (nominal 3mm).

Take caution when connecting the pressure ports- this sensor only measures a positive pressure differential, and you could damage the sensor if you connect it in reverse. Ensure that the upper port is always at an equal or higher pressure than the lower port.

For hosing, we recommend using polyurethane tubing. We have had good results with 2.4mm ID tubing from Emiplastics.com. In imperial measurement, 3/32” ID tubing is equivalent. This is available through laboratory supply stores such as Cole Parmer.

===Formulas===
The Formula to translate SensorValue into Pressure is:

:<math>
\text{Pressure (kPa)}= \frac{\text{SensorValue}}{18} - 2.222
</math>

:<math>
\text{Pressure (psi)} = \frac{\text{SensorValue}}{124.14} - 0.322
</math>

'''Note:''' 1.0 kPa = 0.145 psi
