High end tyre pressure gauge by PCL Air Technology. Calibrated, high accuracy gauge calibrated to ...High end tyre pressure gauge by PCL Air Technology. Calibrated, high accuracy gauge calibrated to +/-1.6% full scale deflection. Display resolution 2psi / 0.1 bar. 0-170 psi / 0-12 bar range. Clip-on Euro Connection. Accurate and easy to read. Impact absorbing rubber outer casing. Integrated swivel fitting. Each dial pressure gauge, before release from the manufacturer, is checked and calibrated on test equipment that has accuracy traceable to the UK National Physical Laboratory reference No 0221 via a Druck DPI 150 Pressure Indicator s/n 2329290. (Certificate of Accuracy available) Designed for simplicity and convenience of use, the dial-type "TyreCheck" pressure gauge is the professional's choice of dial pressure gauge for fast, clear and accurate readings. Ideal for use in busy workshops, the robust dial gauge features an impact-absorbing rubber outer casing for durability.
The PCL Tyre Pressure Gauge Dial (AB Tools - PCL063) is designed for professionals and car enthusiasts who need fast, clear, and accurate tire pressure readings. Its key benefit is high accuracy, calibrated to +/-1.6% of full scale deflection, ensuring reliable measurements for optimal tire performance and safety. A potential caveat is its professional focus, which might mean a slightly steeper learning curve for absolute beginners compared to simpler digital gauges.

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:
Ensure the gauge is clean and free from debris.
Locate the tire valve on the vehicle.
Firmly press the clip-on Euro Connection onto the tire valve. The integrated swivel fitting allows for easy alignment.
The pressure reading will be immediately displayed on the dial.
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.
