Re: [AVR-Chat] Sensor

2009-05-13 by Bruce Parham

I like the method used in most washing machines where they place a pressure
sensor above the liquid and run an open ended tube down to the bottom. That
keeps the sensor and electronics dry.

Given that water pressure = 1.363 PSI/m, a 15 m water head will produce
1.363 PSI/m x 15 m = 20.45 PSI. A 25 to 30 PSI full scale sensor should do
the trick.
