Does the needle create an air leak ?

A negligible amount of air can enter the SMS tensiometer tube when poking trough the silicon stopper but without consequences on the measurement. After taking out the pressure sensor, the silicon stopper will seal back leaving a perfeclty airtight tube. It can stand more than 600 pockings.
