corrosion resistance of BMP183

Post by ecomod »

I will use BMP183 (Adafruit BMP183 SPI Barometric Pressure & Altitude Sensor) to measure pressure of biogas which contains about 1% H2S (hydrogen sulphide) and is saturated with humidity.

I will cover rest of the PCB with silicone for protection and sealing. But, I want actual sensor to be not covered for obvious reasons.

Is the sensor resistant to H2S corrosion?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but we have no idea about that. We've never tested it under those conditions, and the datasheet doesn't mention anything of the kind.
