Try also OMEGA 1-800-222-2665 and ask for their PRESSURE STRAIN AND FORCE
catalog.

Model PX 136-015A V is a small (.6"square) absolute pressure sensor with
excellent performance.  Output is linear: 0 to 100mv for 0-15psi.  $56

Model PX 142-015A 5V is larger (1.2"x2.4"), and senses absolute pressure
from 0-15psi as well.  Its output is linear from 1 to 6V.  $94

There are many, many more nifty pressure sensing devices of all sorts in
the catalog.  I mentioned these only because they are relatively inexpensive
and detect absolute pressure, and because I already had the pages marked
because I was gonna use one, too!
