Does anyone know who makes the pressure transducers in dive computers?

[toastytoaster]

I am currently working on a project and need to log pressure from a tank. All the transducers I can find are either not high enough pressure, not threaded right, require too much power, or just seem too big compared to whats found in dive computers, and I really doubt that they use the most expensive parts. If anyone knows who makes the pressure transducers and/or where to buy them please let me know.

How about getting an old crap dive computer and using its transducer?

I tried looking on ebay for broken ones, most either are not air integrated or are way too expensive for something broken.

Ah. So you’re looking for a gas pressure transducer, not a water pressure transducer.

Yep, sorry, I guess I was not clear.

So he is looking for a used/old/broken wireless transmitter, because that is where the transducer is.

Or a broken air integrated computer, or who ever manufactures the transducers.

I'd look for a dead Proplus. The wireless transmitters are pretty robust (at least the Oceanics....and I wouldn't trust the others), but cheaper if you find one.

I think he is looking for the right piezo sensor for a few cents, not the whole computer for $50 +.

I would be looking for where the transducers are manufactured in order to get them cheaper
