Where Can I Find a Water Proof Pressure Sensor for Sump Detection?

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a waterproof pressure sensor for sump detection that can directly contact water, is insensitive to sunlight, and has small dimensions. They request assistance in locating vendors for such sensors. A link to a potential supplier, WIKA, is provided, although the user acknowledges the potential for it being seen as a promotional mention. The discussion emphasizes the need for specific sensor features suitable for sump applications. Recommendations and vendor suggestions are welcomed.

Hi All,

I am looking for a pressure sensor to detect water pressure in a sump. Sensor has to be in contact with the water media directly. It should be water proof and insensitive to sun light. Also, I want the sensor the dimensions of the sensor to be relatively small. Can anyone help me in locating the vendors for this type of sensor?

Thanks for your help.

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
