The PresMat Barometer measures the current atmospheric pressure. In career mode, it is available with Advanced Exploration, at level 6 of the technology tree.
Currently[outdated], it has "PhysicsSignificance = 1", making it a zero drag and massless part.
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).
The PresMat cannot be used to earn science while in a vacuum or a very thin atmosphere.
Description
“ | A device for measuring the local atmospheric pressure. Warranty void if exposed to air — Probodobodyne Inc. |

Changes
- "PhysicsSignificance = 1" added. The part now has 0 mass and drag, despite the listed values.
- Added Functionality
- Initial Release
