In Contrary concerning the fields of application of different pressure sensors, I have described the special top features of the different versions. Pressure range and ambient conditions are decisive when choosing a suitable sensor for a problem to be solved.
In smaller measuring ranges (e.g. < 10 bar), it is important to know whether a vented gauge pressure, non-vented gauge pressure or absolute pressure sensor is used because, with an activity pressure of 10 bar, the indication of the measured value (1.23/10 bar x 100 % = 12.3 % measurement uncertainty) moves between 8.77 bar and 11.23 bar in line with the selected reference point (0 or 1 bar) and the varying ambient pressure (+/- 230 mbar).
In case of very high pressures (e.g. > 1000 bar), it is becoming less and less vital that you know which sensor type can be used because the maximum error of 1 1.23 bar only results in a measurement uncertainty of just one 1.23 bar / 1000 bar x 100% = 0.123 %. Ticked Off of applications described here are only a few selected examples of the sometimes very different fields of application of the various pressure sensors and show that, in each case, the precise accuracy requirements and ambient conditions should be considered.
