#Gas Pressure Sensor

I have an idea for some alerting and usage monitoring for welding gases at a makerspace. To do this, I would ideally need some kind of smart pressure sensor. My searches have only turned up very expensive proprietary add-ons to specific welders, and full industrial solutions. We only have 2 stations with 2 gases each, so these are not worth it. But adding a pressure sensor to the gas lines is definitely in our capability.

Has anyone come across a bit of hardware like this?

What are you specifically hoping to measure? I’ve seen people use weight sensors to track when gas tanks are empty but if you’re trying to track usage rate that’s a different goal obviously
