Voltage to pascals using sensor

[im-fran]

I have an experiment where a syringe is used to compress air. the compressed air is measured using a pressure sensor which converts to voltage on a multimeter. I need to transfer the volts to pascals. I know that the sensor voltage output is directly proportional to the pressure exerted on the sensor. We know the sensor sensitivity, the dc supply voltage, and the amplifier gain. Have been trying to figure it out for days! any ideas as to where to start or get any web information that will help.

The best way to convert voltage to pressure is to use a pressure transducer. A pressure transducer is a device that converts a pressure signal into an electrical output signal (voltage or current). The output signal can then be read on a multimeter and used to calculate the pressure. The conversion between voltage and pressure is typically linear, meaning that a given voltage will always correspond to a specific pressure. The relationship between the voltage and pressure is determined by the sensitivity of the transducer, which is usually specified in units of mV/kPa. To convert the voltage reading to pressure, simply multiply the voltage reading by the sensitivity of the transducer. For example, if the transducer has a sensitivity of 0.1 mV/kPa and the voltage reading is 0.5 V, then the pressure is 5 kPa.
