Hi forum comunity,

is it possible to use barometric sensors to measure/calculate differential pressure? And is it possible within RMS?

Kind regards

Pretty easy to do, take 2 barometric pressure sensors and measure the difference between the two using a calculated measuring point within RMS.

Regards,
James

Please consider, that the accuracy and the resolution of your barometric pressure sensor must fit your application. For example the RMS-MLOG-BT-915 sensor has an accuracy of +-3 hPa and a resolution of 0.1 hPa.
So for the MLOG-BT device you'd probably need a differential pressure of 200-500Pa.

Regards
