Ingutu zimodoka zikoreshwa mugupima igitutu cya peteroli hamwe nibikoresho bya peteroli bifite umuvuduko wa peteroli, ushobora kumenya igitutu cyibigega, gufunga cyangwa guhagarika ibimenyetso bya peteroli bisohoka hamwe na peteroli idasanzwe.
Inganda zimodoka kuri sensor ibisabwa birasaba cyane, ibinyabiziga byimodoka bigomba kuba bifite umutekano mwinshi kandi byukuri, kwizerwa, kwizerwa, kubazwa neza, ubuzima burebure nibindi.

Ingutu zimodoka zikoreshwa cyane mugutahura igitutu cya sisitemu ya feri na sisitemu ya peteroli, igitutu kinini, igitutu cyumuyaga hamwe nigitutu cyipine kugirango upime igitutu cya gaze. Kugeza ubu, ahanini harashobora, seczoresitess na sensor itandukanye nigitutu gikoreshwa mubinyabizigaUbwoko bwa Dynamic Ubwoko (IVDT) nubuso bwa Elastike Ubwoko (Byarabonye).

Hamwe niterambere rihoraho rya siyanse n'ikoranabuhanga hamwe niterambere ryihuse ryinganda, sensor yumuvuduko gahura amahirwe yiterambere yiterambere. Ku ruhande rumwe, hamwe no kubaho guhoraho kw'ibikoresho bishya n'ibikorwa bishya, imikorere y'igitutu zizagenda neza, nk'ibikoresho byo hejuru, bikoreshwa mu mashanyarazi, bikomeye, imbaraga zikomeye; Ku rundi ruhande, hamwe no kurwanywa no gushyira mu bikorwa ikoranabuhanga nka interineti y'ibintu no ku makuru manini, sensor ziterwa n'igitutu zizahuza n'ibikoresho byinshi kugira ngo bibe uburyo bwo gupima ubwenge kandi bunoze. Byongeye kandi, hamwe no kunoza uburyo bwo kumenyekanisha ibidukikije no kumenya no guhindura imiterere ingufu, gushyira mu bikorwa ingufu z'igitutu mu ingufu zisukuye, gukurikirana ibidukikije ndetse n'ibindi bibanza bizakomeza kwaguka no kurushaho. Muri make, sensor yumuvuduko nkigice cyingenzi cyinganda zigezweho, ibyiringiro byayo bizaza byagutse cyane.
