Re: Tire Pressure Guage Search (Kenny94945)
You could make one, but the variation with temperature of tire pressure would exceed this anyway. The accuracy/repeatability of this gage would need to be .3% (there are expensive instrumentation solid state pressure transducers that are this good) just to have the .1 psi mean anything. Just measuring the pressure you lose a little air. Do you have an application where .1 psi is significant?

Even if you get one, how will you know its accurate? Do you have some way to test it? As mentioned in the previous post what are you going to accomplish? The pressure will vary more than that from air temp during the day. I bet if you get two gauges that have that kind of resolution there will be more than a half pound difference in the measurement when they are used to measure the same tire within seconds of each other.

Re: Tire Pressure Guage Search (Kenny94945)
Hi all,
The application question...my goal is to just have the DIC pressure readout be in balance at all times...nothing scientific or for a trophy.
Right now my pressure guage (cold) reads 30.0 rear and 33.0 front HOWEVER the DIC reads 29.0 30.0 / 32.0 33.0 and within five miles goes to 30.0 30.0 and 33.0 and 33.0. So my physicall tire pressure must be off less than 0.5 lbs.
Thanks...the Hennington reads in tenths? I call them; their magazine/ ad is not clear to me.
