FAQs

What is the accuracy of this tyre pressure gauge?

The gauge is calibrated to +/-1.6% of full scale deflection, ensuring high accuracy for precise readings.

What is the measurement range of the gauge?

The gauge measures pressure from 0 to 170 psi, which is equivalent to 0 to 12 bar.

How do I connect the gauge to the tire valve?

It features a clip-on Euro Connection that you firmly press onto the tire valve. An integrated swivel fitting aids in easy attachment.

Is this gauge suitable for professional use?

Yes, it is designed as a professional's choice, featuring robust construction and high accuracy, making it ideal for busy workshops.

What should I do if the reading appears incorrect?

Ensure the connection is secure and check for leaks. If the issue persists, the gauge might require recalibration or professional inspection.

How should I clean and maintain the gauge?

Wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth and store it in a dry place. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.

Is a Certificate of Accuracy available for this product?

Yes, a Certificate of Accuracy is available, detailing the calibration traceable to UK National Physical Laboratory reference.

Troubleshooting

Gauge not reading pressure

Ensure the clip-on connection is firmly seated on the tire valve and that there are no leaks around the connection point. Check that the valve itself is functional.

Reading seems inaccurate

Ensure the gauge is properly calibrated (refer to documentation for calibration process if available or seek professional calibration). Check for any physical damage to the dial or casing. Ensure the tire has sufficient pressure to register on the gauge's minimum reading.

Clip-on connector is stiff or difficult to attach

Inspect the connector for dirt or debris and clean if necessary. Check the swivel fitting for smooth movement. Ensure the connector is aligned correctly with the valve stem.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High precision and accuracy for reliable readings.
  • Durable construction suitable for demanding environments.
  • Easy-to-read dial display with clear resolution.
  • Wide pressure range covers most vehicle types.
  • Professional-grade calibration traceable to national standards.

Cons

  • May be more complex than basic digital gauges for novice users.
  • Requires manual operation for each measurement.
  • No memory function for storing previous readings.
  • Relies on a mechanical gauge, which can be susceptible to damage if dropped from significant heights.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the gauge is clean and free from debris.
  2. Locate the tire valve on the vehicle.
  3. Firmly press the clip-on Euro Connection onto the tire valve. The integrated swivel fitting allows for easy alignment.
  4. The pressure reading will be immediately displayed on the dial.
  5. To release, lift the lever on the clip-on connector.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard tire valves found on most cars, motorcycles, and light commercial vehicles.
  • Features a Euro Connection, common in many automotive applications.

Care:

  • Wipe the gauge clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Store the gauge in a dry place, protected from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
  • Protect the rubber casing from excessive exposure to oil or solvents, which can degrade the material over time.
  • Periodically check the accuracy against a known reference if consistent precision is critical.
