Room Pressure Monitors

A room pressure monitor is a device that monitors and measures the pressure of a given space in reference to another space. This value is called "differential pressure."

Room pressure monitors are used in "critical spaces" where contamination must be avoided. Critical spaces include hospital rooms, isolation rooms, operating rooms, cleanrooms, pharmaceutical manufacturing areas, vivariums, and data centers.

Some critical spaces such as data centers require monitoring more than just pressure to keep equipment running at peak performance. Pharmaceutical plants and other involved manufacturing facilities typically need to control the humidity, temperature, and particle counts of their spaces. Finally, a growing body of research is showing that hospitals can reduce infections by monitoring additional room parameters beyond just differential pressure.
