Differential Pressure sensor for diesel engines
Greetings
I am looking at differential pressure sensors for my project. To keep it easy i am looking at or hoping for an outputs of 0 to 5 volts.·Most important the sensor needs to be as cheap as possible due to the working nature of my project. I have been looking at the motorola MPX5700AP. The sensor puts out 0 to 5 volts and the sensor will handle the range i need from 0 to 7 bar(700Kpa) the sensor is cheap and exactly what i need. What i don't know is will the sensor handle pressure from the hot engine oil?·Also·i am not finding one to do any testings with. The only·quote that i did receive was a minumum of 20 units and to be imported(several weeks lead time). It seems the sensors are not easily found in the world. Any suggestment?

Following links from Freescale's site, it looked like you could buy singles from Newark Electronics.

L_Gaminde-- This unit being build will be fitted to many at a time when a lot of mandatory replacements parts gets replaced. A lot of other Parts are replaced not ment for this unit/project. About 80% of the needed items (some as mentioned by you) are already a standard replacement. Some parts will need to be changed to suite this application but those outgoing cost will be their with or without this unit being fitted. Additional cost will add on to this sensor but this will be low.
Thanks for the link, i will be looking through the site and ask questions to see if this can work for me.
