VTI SCP1000 30-120 kPa Pressure Sensorto measuer boost
Guys I was wondering if I could use this sensor to measure positive pressure of around 30 Lbs .. I am confused looking at data sheet .. if this will not work can anyone recommend one that will I need to measure positive air pressure of 0- almost 40 Lbs
I want to make my own Boost gauge with a BS2 and the 4X20 Thank you

If you are talking about 30-40 PSI, no.
To convert kilopascals to pounds per square inch, multiply the kpa value by .14503773773020923.
The VTI SCP1000 will max out at around 17.405 PSI. It is used mainly as an atmospheric pressure sensor, (weather station, altitude calculation).
Digikey has many·senors to choose·from:

Higher pressure is not thinner air. Sea level is about 14.7 psi. 30psi would be about 2 times atmospheric pressure, meaning more pressure, below sea level.
I think Digikey has some pressure sensors. I'll look it up and get back to you. Maybe $30 each?
