Re: measuring diff. pressure across the scrubber

Reading through your FMECA Volume 8 report i've encountered very interesting idea you're going to implement for monitoring scrubber life: a measurement of differential pressire across the scrubber.
I wonder, how sensitive pressure sensor would be to measure such a small pressure diffs, and how this difference is changing during Sofnolime (or other "magic powder) exhaustion process ?
I would think measuring the pressure differential across the scrubber is more to measure breathing rate.. since there is a small resistance in the scrubber its a good point to be able to see when a person inhales/exhales.. If co2 is rising, the persons breathing rate should be rising as well and give the diver a warning to slow down.. There are plenty of sensors that have the resolution to see this..
