I've been working on a device that measures the depth and temperature of water using the TMP006 and Silicon labs' SI1141. I've been getting relatively stable results on heated water (10 - 50 degrees celcius) at depths between 5cm to 40cm. I'm now working on waterproofing the device and, as expected, a flat sheet of IR transmissive polypropylene is having an adverse effect on the TMP006. Could a polypropylene fresnel lens be used at this range as a water resistant cover, and if so, what kind of lens should I be looking for?
Kind regards,
