EE types ho!

We've got the whole line of Westach stuff on our web site for
convenience.  Wicks has good prices on the sensors, and usually has
them
in
stock.  Take a look on my Installation page at
http://bluemountainavionics.com for details on pressure sensors.

The active sensors are the best, and put out a 0 to 5 volt signal.  I
have
a set of calibration curves if you need them.

If you want to get hardcore, Motorola makes a sweet series of sensors
that
are instrumentation grade, but priced accordingly.  The Westach active
stuff is in the 5% range.

The 387KV looks like the way to go, but at this time is still out of budget
for our project. Since they are solid state and output 0-5V though, that
would eliminate some of our other required hardware so I might be able to
talk the powers that be into it.

Thanks!

Here is some more stuff on the ducts from Kays & London for you Greg.
Kays & London use the term "header" in place of "duct".
Somewhat confusing eh what?
