A tire pressure gauge, also known as an air gauge or master gauge, is a tool used for measuring and adjusting the air pressure in tires. Proper management of tire pressure is crucial for vehicle safety. Although many drivers might not regularly monitor their tire pressure, it's important to check and adjust it regularly to maintain optimal vehicle performance
Managing tire pressure is essential to prevent traffic accidents. Low tire pressure can lead to the standing wave phenomenon. If a vehicle continues to drive under this condition, the tires may overheat and potentially burst. Additionally, low tire pressure increases driving resistance, makes steering more difficult, and negatively impacts fuel consumption.
Tire pressure gauges are broadly classified into dial, bar-shaped gauge, and digital display types. Their prices vary based on the accuracy of air pressure measurement. While affordable gauges, including many Chinese-made options, are available, it's crucial to consider battery life and gasket quality when making a selection.
Tire pressure gauges are primarily used for measuring tire air pressure. If the pressure is found to be low, it must be refilled with air or nitrogen gas, typically using an air compressor at a gas station. Portable compressors available at car accessory stores offer a convenient home solution. However, be mindful of noise levels and consider the time and surroundings when using these devices.
The main method of measuring air pressure with tire pressure gauges is to use a piston as the internal structure. When the tire pressure gauges are connected to the air valve of the tire, the piston integrated with the spring inside the tire pressure gauges is pushed out by the air pressure from inside the tire. This moves the inside of the tire pressure gauge, converting its position into an air pressure display based on the amount of movement. The meter displays the value in a readable manner.
The simple rod-shaped tire pressure gauges also have the piston structure described above, and the position of the piston can be displayed on the gauge as it is, and the air pressure can be measured by reading the scale. This makes the structure relatively simple. The dial display type with a built-in piston has a structure that allows the air pressure indication to be read by converting the piston's movement into its position on a rotary meter. Both display types have an internal stopper that stores the highest measured value so that it can be read.
The dial type also includes the Bourdon tube type. The Bourdon tube type has an oval-shaped metal pipe in the internal structure of the tire pressure gauges, which deforms according to air pressure to measure the air pressure inside the tire and display it on the meter of the tire pressure gauges. As a rule, the Bourdon tube type tends to have higher measurement accuracy than the piston type.
First of all, for tire pressure gauges to accurately measure the air pressure, it is necessary to check the condition of the tire itself.
Tires that have been driven heavily have the characteristic of displaying a higher tire pressure because of the heat and expansion of the air inside the tire. Therefore, the tire pressure immediately after driving may not be accurately displayed in the tire pressure measurement. To accurately measure tire pressure, it is important to move the vehicle indoors on unheated asphalt or concrete and allow the tires to cool sufficiently before measuring the tire pressure.
The accuracy of tire pressure gauges varies from product to product, depending on the price range and internal construction.
The lower-priced tire pressure gauges will have a larger error in air pressure, which can be negligible for some serious competition vehicles. Inch-up tires and tires with low flatness tend to pull tires, so any error in air pressure is dangerous because it can lead to bursts while driving.
If you require accuracy in tire pressure gauges for your use, choose tire pressure gauges that are appropriate for the price. If necessary, use a tire pressure gauge that is more accurate.
If you are driving mainly in town, and not at high speeds, you do not need to pay much attention to the error of tire pressure gauges, but please be aware that tire pressure gauges have various errors depending on the product.
If tire pressure gauges are used for a long period, errors will gradually occur, and if left unchecked, the errors will become larger and larger, so regular "calibration" is necessary to prevent this.
The most accurate way to perform "calibration" is to borrow calibration equipment from tire manufacturers and perform calibration.
The air hose from the compressor is connected to the main unit of the calibrator, and the air pressure is adjusted to a constant value. Next, connect the tire pressure gauges to the valve of the calibrator, and check if the tire pressure gauges show the same value as that of the calibrator. If there is an error, adjust the tire pressure gauges so that the value on the tire pressure gauges side is the same as the value on the calibrator side. Repeat this process until the values become the same, and "calibration" is completed.
