To measure the tire pressure must first select the effective gauge! But it is not as easy task, as it might seem at first glance. There are several types of devices other than quality, functionality, and of course price.
How to measure tire pressure. But, unfortunately, part of the drivers are treated with disdain to this, but in vain.
inaccurate measurement
A significant part of the available gauges on the market does not accurately show the pressure in the tires. Of course there is the concept of the margin of error, but what are its boundaries? Considering, that the air pressure is affected by many factors in the tire, in particular air temperature, tire quality and t. d., inaccurate readings 0,1 or even 0,2 the bar is not dramatic.
It's like a household scales, at we weigh, let's, 70 kg, friends 68 kg, in returns - 72 kg. But the most important thing is, Weighing only that on the same scales, we are able to perceive changes. Similarly, with the tires. Not that important, what is the exact meaning of the tire – 2,1 or 2,2 bar. Important, so that both wheels of one axle pressure was the same and was within normal limits. That's why you must have your own manometer and regularly check the tire pressure.
What kind of norm?
In order to know what the norm is necessary to familiarize with the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, which took into account the specific size of the wheels for the design of the car. which took into account the specific size of the wheels for the design of the car, we must go out of the garage, are usually found on a special plate or sticker on the threshold of the car, under the cover of a fuel tank filler neck or elsewhere in the glove box.
Some values are recommended for the empty vehicle(t. it is. only with a driver), the other for the fully loaded. If you did not know, what pressure would be, we can safely inflate the wheel to the level of 2,2 bar. This is the average pressure, that fits always and everywhere.
As measured by pressure?
Of course, using a pressure gauge. But we must first remember, that is usually more expensive than it is better. The simplest models are likely disposable trinkets. If the plastic gauge for a few dollars will show us the correct pressure, it is rather a matter of chance rather than a pattern.
When selecting a manometer is worth considering, that the device, which is accurate to the best of, It should cost about 8 dollars and above, but rather that it was worth at least 14 dollars. It is not expensive, because a good device will last for several years, and it will pay off as the tires on a car will have the correct pressure, and ultimately last longer.
What is the measured pressure?
Most pressure gauges show the value in bar.. 1 bar substantially equal 1 atmosphere. It must be remembered, that the tire pressure is measured "in the cold", i.e. after several hours of parking. Too high causes wear on the tire center, i.e. after several hours of parking. It also affects the proper fuel consumption and optimum braking distance. I.e, As a result, the safety and the money spent on fuel. In this perspective, a few tens of dollars spent on the pressure gauge is a small thing, is not it?
