2.2.4 The Effect of Pressure

The Micro-Fuel Cell responds to the partial pressure of oxygen

present inside the cell holder.

By design, the total gas pressure inside the cell holder is kept

approximately the same as the atmospheric pressure. As the
atmospheric pressure changes, the partial pressure of oxygen in
the cell holder will change accordingly.

The impact due to changes in atmospheric pressure is usually

limited to less than 3% of reading.
