  1. 1.0 1.1 The mass and drag are from the part config, but the game handles it as physicsless.

The PresMat Barometer measures the current atmospheric pressure.

Usage

Displays atmospheric pressure to five significant figures, while active. A pressure below 0.0001 atm is shown as vacuum by the sensor. Lower atmospheric pressures markedly reduce lift and drag induced by the atmosphere, and cause a small change in engine efficiency.

While it is activated, the barometer drains 0.0075 Electric Charge per second (0.45 E/m, 27 E/hr).

Description

A device for measuring the local atmospheric pressure. Warranty void if exposed to air
