Differential Pressure Sensors: Precise and Compliant Monitoring of Controlled Environments
In environments with stringent cleanliness and safety requirements – such as cleanrooms, pharmaceutical laboratories or sterile production areas – differential pressure measurement is a critical parameter. It enables air circulation between different areas to be controlled and the risk of cross-contamination to be prevented. To meet these challenges, Dickson offers a range of high-precision differential pressure sensors, perfectly integrated with its DicksonOne monitoring solution.

Modern digital data loggers have features to enhance asset protection, regulatory compliance, and scalability. Here are a few reasons to think about upgrading.
5 Reasons It’s Time to Consider Upgrading from Chart Recorders to Data Loggers
Digital data loggers use microelectronics and wireless communications to improve efficiency, asset protection, and regulatory compliance compared to chart recorders.
Differential pressure sensors designed for precision, reliability and integration
Dickson differential pressure sensors are designed to measure pressure differences between two adjacent zones with extreme reliability. Whether maintaining a positive pressure in a cleanroom or controlling a negative pressure zone in a confined environment, these sensors ensure :
- Optimum measurement accuracy, even in very low pressure ranges, thanks to intelligent sensor technology and the rigour of our ISO/IEC 17025 A2LA-accredited calibration laboratory.
- Seamless integration within the OCEAView ecosystem, enabling data to be centralized, displayed in real time and analyzed for trends.
- Simple installation with compact modules, flexible mounting options, and connectivity to suit different contexts thanks to compatibility with our extensive range of data loggers.
These sensors are ideal for pharmaceutical establishments, hospitals, research laboratories or any installation requiring rigorous control of airflow.
The challenges of differential pressure measurement
Differential pressure is much more than just an environmental indicator: it is an invisible safety barrier. In many regulated sectors, it is used to :
- Ensure the direction of air flows and prevent contaminants from circulating between two controlled cleanliness zones.
- Maintain compliance with regulatory standards such as ISO 14644, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GxP, etc.
- Immediately detect any operating anomaly: a drop in pressure between two zones may reveal a problem with ventilation, a filter or an uncontrolled opening.
Continuous measurement of differential pressure, combined with defined alert thresholds, enables rapid intervention to correct any deviation and avoid non-compliance or critical product loss.
A complete solution with DicksonOne: performance, simplicity, compliance
In addition to the sensors themselves, Dickson offers a complete environmental monitoring solution with DicksonOne. This monitoring platform centralises, displays, secures and exploits data from all Dickson data loggers and probes. Its main benefits include :
- Real-time alerts: if thresholds are exceeded, users receive immediate notifications (SMS, e-mail, visual alarms) so they can react without delay.
- Guaranteed regulatory compliance: DicksonOne meets the requirements of the most stringent standards (GMP, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 17025), with event logging, user management and audit trail.
- Scalability: the system adapts easily to your needs. You can add new sensors or extend coverage without having to rethink the entire architecture.
- Simple to use: the intuitive web interface makes it easy to get to grips with the system, with customizable dashboards, automated reports and clear visualisations of critical data.
- Traceability and data security: information is stored securely, with historical data accessible at any time for audits, inspections or internal analysis.
With Dickson and DicksonOne, you have full control over your critical environment while simplifying your compliance and quality control processes.
