there is a differential pressure sensor available (the original one used in the panel), BUT I don't know if it is enough accurate. There are two Honeywell 19C015PA4K pressure transducer available, but they were discarded due to the accuracy.

<div class="PlainText">Dear Brian,<br>
<br>
I realize that this is very late in the game. I agree that if we can’t get it done in time, we will (have to) live with the present arrangement. The reason that I would prefer a differential pressure meter (as opposed to dead-reckoning with absolute pressure
measurements) is that the this pressure difference between RTPC and 4He buffer is directly relevant for the strain on the thin ground foil, as well as potentially the leak rate from the detector.<br>
<br>
I am cc’ing Narbe and Carlos in case they are aware of any still existing differential pressure meters that we could use; in any case, to be useful, the meter should have the following parameters:<br>
<br>
1) Sensitivity/accuracy: Ideally about 0.013*10^-3 atm or 0.005 iwc or 0.0002 psi or 0.01 Torr (can be a bit less accurate)<br>
2) Range: At least +/-1.3*10^-3 atm or 0.5 iwc or 0.02 psi or 1 Torr (it doesn’t hurt if it is more, obviously, as long as it is sensitive enough).<br>
I believe these specs are compatible with the differential pressure sensor we are presently using for the RTPC - DMS sensor PDT332 (MKS226A).<br>
<br>
