Cheap tyre pressure meters - test and teardown

[@ats89117]

If you x-rayed your cat, you would probably find that he is full of metal and plastic components from your teardowns! :-D

[@Cheese_1337]

[@jingarjay8754]

Ooo,finally some car stuff! i want to have a look at those obd2 scanners!

[@skodovkar]

Do not worry about 3 bars, drove with that on Favorit daily.

[@matthewday7565]

Don't know how accurate it was, but we always used Dad's metal pen-type gauge as our reference, to which the cheap plastic one I carried had a couple of pounds correction. It can be such a pain getting them to seat … hiss and miss, you might say. Got a digital auto pump, and after finding that it agreed with the gauge, stopped using the separate gauge and just used the pump. My car gives two pressures, "ECO" which is higher and "Comfort" which is lower, with the rear 3 (PSI) below the front, so I compromise and set them halfway in that range, with the rear 3 lower

[@RuphiaYen]

i think i lost the stopper for the spring when it popped out because of pressure, what alternative stopper can i use?

[@jp040759]

Interesting topic. Nover looked into tire pressure gauges. Thanx.

[@viveksoley]

I have a pressure guage with a small flexible hose attached to it. Take care of 🐈. Hope it doesn't choke itself with the small springs and plastic parts.

[@josipkuric7770]

Exelent video, and topic. thanks

[@BalintNandori]

3:50 press the zero button and place the needle to zero

[@imnotbeluga007]

There's no zero point. The lowest point is 5 psi.

[@felixcat4346]

The hand pump came from The Peoples Revolutionary Bureau of Roads and Tires.

[@sri198904]

shouldnt the meters with the gauges show reading of 14 PSI for 1 atm since the meter is not in a vaccum ? this always confuses me...

[@petersmith5219]

I have a very high quality MotoMeter made W.Germany. But it will not seal between valve and meter; just hisses air with no movement on the instrument.

[@dosgos]

For OBD SCANNER - please plug-in/unplug only with car off. We had some problems removing the OBD scanner while car was running. . .

[@DiodeGoneWild]

Thanks for info, this is good to know ;).

[@dosgos]

There are a lot of OBD plug ins used daily as dash gauges. Interestingly, these ports are really designed for troubleshooting. For example, they create some interrupt processes that might not have been fully tested by the car manufacturer; that does not matter when testing in the garage but it might matter when travelling on the autobahn at 310 km/hr with your cat.

[@dreck66666]

Where is the video for the obd scanner 👌

[@DrBeat-zs9eb]

Why is the refill station at the gas station in German?

[@simontay4851]

Probably because it is made in germany.

[@DiodeGoneWild]

Because it's made in Germany (20 years ago and not maintained ever since, sadly ...)

[@tuxrandom]

Why shouldn’t it? You can even vacuum the interior of your car at many gas stations here.

[@D-Ogi]

@@tuxrandom but you may pump tyres with some maintained and digital ones instead of WW2's :p

[@arnemaeschaelck5012]

RandomTux but I live in Western Europe and I've never seen such pumps… they're all digital and you can either choose to inflate a flat tire, choose your bars (or even psi on some), … and then it will tell you how much pressure was in there before you start inflating / deflating and beeps when it's done.

[@TheTrueCBaer]

These car tire valves are Schrader-Valves. From the channel-info I see he's from czech republic, which is right next to germany. I always though he was from india xD. In germany the tire pressure meters at gasstations usually have callibration stickers.

[@fgdgdfg3912]

Čau

[@DiodeGoneWild]

In the Czech Republic almost every gas station has those German tyre pressure meters, but they are 20 years old and not maintained or calibrated ever since...

[@RuphiaYen]

where can i buy spring stopper?

[@madrian_hello]

Can you post a link to the metal one with the case?

[@tamaica7770]

2:20 Not the friction holds the stick, but the air tight!

[@REVERSE_BIAS]

"It needs calibrating..." "Not by me!!!" 😂😂😂 You and your cat are fantastic!!!

[@MohsinExperiments]

Very well explained 👍 thanks for the detailed review!

[@michaellalwani3845]

When it25 onmeasure meter what u mean

[@olradguy]

I have the a few of the metal & chrome ones, They do seem accurate and consistent.

[@janicegermaine8969]

great review

[@bahtiyar.d]

Which one is the most accurate?

[@HA05GER]

The calibration is surely set in the teeth of the first gauge just nice the Dial to zero and it'll be correct

[@DiodeGoneWild]

The dial has no zero. It starts at 0.5 bar. This is why you can't calibrate it with no pressure connected.

[@smallengine]

You should put links in the description so if people want to test it out they can find where you got it.

[@BPantherPink]

HE SAID EBAY... Just look for it, you lazy Billy goat !! Are you a B-737 pilot??

[@smallengine]

bpanther ik he said it but I can never find any for those prices, there always fakes or not actually what’s listed on the listing.

[@D-Ogi]

@@smallengine even with a link you can't know what will arrive

[@smallengine]

Dawid Ogiegło yeah, but it would still be nice.

[@hullinstruments]

Anyone wanting a long lasting heavy-duty version that will last forever... I think they still make some heavy-duty usa-made versions. But i've picked up half a dozen or so over the years through my tool and antique buying adventures. Not specifically looking for them or anyting they just might come in the bottom of a barrel of tools or something I was already buying. I guess most of them are from the sixties seventies and eighties... But they will weigh about 10 to 20 times more than the cheap ones you can find a gas station. And you can just tell they're made of very high quality design and materials. I'm sure you can get a well-made Chinese or Taiwanese made one as well... If you go online to the usual websites and instead of spending under a dollar try to spend around 3 to $5 for more high-quality solid metal construction. Just because something's made-in-america doesn't mean it's better or the only good option. Too many people ripping into Chinese manufacturing these days without realizing the fact that most of the folks are fifteen-year-old kids chained to machines. And even the ones who aren't... It's not like the manufacturer's really have much of a say... It's the American and European importers who demanded the absolute cheapest thing possible. Americans love to pay $0.50 for something that should cost $20 and then gripe about it for being low quality.

[@Mxchall46]

Very good EngLishh

[@2ahanaf]

accənt.. 💀

[@rackbasedlife9584]

Its fairly common around here to never trust the gas station gauge to be correct. Although the ones here are all hand held and get thrown around by other people.

[@sammylove14]

Can it work for a bike tire?

[@N3szt0r]

Hmm I had the same experience about 2 years ago. My family has plenty of gauges, but there were no 2 equal results... So I bought a pricy meter from Michelin.... By the way if you drive the results will be even more differently, because with driving the pressure of your tire will increase.... This values have to be the idle temperature of tires.... So basicly the meter is bullshit at the gas stations :)

[@SeanBZA]

I got a metal valve body and then put a calibrated gauge on it, is is a lot more accurate than the gauges at any garage, as they all get abused a lot.

[@puckcat22679]

N3szt0r you can generally correct for temperature. The pressure specified by the automaker on the tire information label is the cold pressure. If you have no way of checking pressure at home before you go somewhere, you should drive at least 3-4 miles (5-7 km) first, then stop at the gas station. Add 4 PSI (about .3 bar) to the cold pressure. That's a reasonably good correction factor for warm tires. Also important: follow the tire pressure recommended by the car manufacturer, NOT the pressure listed on the tire itself. That pressure is the test pressure. It can be considered a maximum for the particular tire, and will always be higher than what the car manufacturer recommends.

[@Sunsandsea962]

same here SMH

[@Davis38]

I have the little blue bluetooth obd, payed 2 euros, hope you take a look at that! It shows no error codes tho my car has many 😂

[@ansh_thepro]

I like that warning at start of video!!!😊

[@VA3KAMA3]

He's just covering his ass

[@zx8401ztv]

I think i would buy one with the C tube inside, they are nice but expensive. I wonder if you can calibrate your gauges with say a 1 inch wide tube filled with water, the weight of water type thing. The bottom of the tube has a fitting for the gauge, perhaps?, just a silly thought lol. Your cat is loverly :-D

[@DiodeGoneWild]

I could calibrate it using water tube, but to get 1 bar, you need 10 meters of water column :).

[@zx8401ztv]

ha ha yes i am silly :-D Oh well. i did try to think a little lol :-D There must be a simple way, but i dont know it lol.

[@bills6093]

Given the accuracy and repeat-ability, I think it's unlikely that the good gauge has the same mechanism.

[@DiodeGoneWild]

I have to buy one more to be able to take a look inside ;).

[@Agent24Electronics]

It probably has the same style though, but with higher tolerance components.

[@bills6093]

I was hoping you would say that.

[@catdisc5304]

Found an old pressure gauge, didn't know how to use it. This video is the first that came up and actually super informative. But why do you put the stress on the last word of your sentences all the time? Is that a habit from you native language? Caught me off guard at first but it made the video a lot more sympathetic imo

[@FloppyBoom]

Great video :-)

[@two_number_nines]

compare them with a custom water level pressure scale

[@manwiththestar2305]

Now you have to do some digital ones...

[@ArunJovian]

Does ur mic have any problem cuz i get more volume of ur voice in my left ear than the right one? Any one else have the same problem?

[@DiodeGoneWild]

This may be because I'm on the left side of the camera. I don't notice this because my laptop has mono speakers. Good old cameras with mono mikes :).

[@RandomTechStuff]

+DiodeGoneWild you could downmix the channels to mono when editing

[@ccdimage]

How do you not drive a 1970's or 80's LADA?

[@simontay4851]

Because lada's are shit and he knows better.

[@ccdimage]

Like all old machines. Some people think a dodgy lamp socket made in Czechoslovakia in the 70's is shit. Some people think old soviet clocks are shit. I am not suggesting he drive some clapped out old banger. There are some lovely looking old LADA's.

[@DiodeGoneWild]

I live in the Czech Republic, not Russia, so I drive Škoda, not Lada, of course :).

[@Volvex007]

[@woooweee]

I usually get the digital ones. Don't cost much more.

[@Sunsandsea962]

Tested my cars tyre pressure with a manual & digital gauge, both of which gave 2 different results. 🥺

[@s0men00bb]

Discovered this channel from another video , as it showed up from magnetron mods and , how to modify them and convert them into radars and similar devices. :) Pressure gauges aka manometers are at the same time fun and - boring , depending from point of view. :) The better ones have small gauge in spiral shape and when put on pressure , gauge unveils and shows exact pressure , but , they can't stay in that place , unless they have some sort of vent that keeps pressure inside them for short time. They also have excessive pressure vent , so , if You are measuring something beyond their scale , the vent will activate and release excessive amount of gas / liquid. :) They can't be recalibrated , as if they start to show wrong pressure and don't return to 0 , that means that internal gauge has deformed and , usually , they are thrown away. Changing main part would cost nearly as new one. They also have hole on back for excessive gas / liquid. Their typical usage is in industrial environment. :) That was my basic knowledge on hydraulics and pneumatics from high school , from , I guess 2001 / 2002. :)

[@oldmanhuppiedos]

Find the comments with the animals great. I do not have to measure, because I do not drive a car just a bicycle.

[@kyoudaiken]

Ah you are living in Germany! I see you're a man of culture as well. ;)

[@BastiElektronik]

No he doesn't. Just the meters are made in germany
