There is a big difference as one unit is directly measuring pressure while the other is measuring airflow direction. Units that list the capability of measuring flow rates of 0.0001″ WG are air flow monitors not pressure monitors. This capability is inconsequential for monitoring isolation rooms because a negative pressure reading as low as -0.0001″ is virtually insignificant in the air pressure differential between the controlled space and the referenced space to be compliant. CDC states .01″ WG as a measurement requirement..
