TYPES OF PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS
ABSOLUTE (PSIA)
Pressure is measured with respect to an absolute vacuum.
DIFFERENTIAL (PSID)
Pressure is measured with respect to a second pressure port.
GAUGE (PSIG)
Pressure is measured with respect to atmospheric pressure. Same as a differential pressure sensor with
the second port open to the atmosphere.
