Ensure Accurate Readings with Longacre’s Innovative Pressure Equalisation Mechanism

Reliable Gauge Precision with Longacre's Vent Mechanism

A specialised vent mechanism has been incorporated to ensure pressure equalisation and uphold gauge precision. Liquid-filled gauges offer numerous benefits but are susceptible to fluctuations in readings of up to 2-3 psi due to temperature changes.

Importance of Proper Venting for All Pressure Gauges

Regardless of whether they are liquid-filled or standard, all pressure gauges necessitate external venting to maintain accuracy. Without proper venting, environmental temperature shifts can cause pressure build-up within the gauge, leading to inaccuracies of up to 2-3 psi.

Traditional Venting Challenges and Longacre's Solution

Traditional venting methods for liquid-filled gauges can result in leakage, causing inconvenience and potential mess. Some manufacturers overlook this issue and release gauges without proper venting, introducing variations in accuracy. Longacre has introduced a straightforward solution: a specially designed pressure equaliser button at the gauge's apex. With a simple push before taking readings, users can rectify temperature-induced pressure differentials, ensuring utmost accuracy.

Key Features of the Longacre Gauge

• 2.5" Deluxe Gauge with Protective Bumper: Durable and easy to handle.
• Holds Pressure Reading Until Released: Convenient for accurate measurement.
• Glow-in-the-Dark Dial Face: Readable in low light conditions.
• 17" Hose with Swivel Ball Chuck: Flexible and easy to use.
• Specially Designed Vent Button: Equalises pressure to maintain gauge accuracy.

Demonstrating the Innovation

To illustrate the significance of this innovation, perform a test with your liquid-filled tire gauge. Store the gauge in a cool environment within its typical usage range. Then, expose the gauge to sunlight for about 45 minutes, replicating race conditions. Upon rechecking the tire pressure, you’ll notice discrepancies in readings despite the pressure remaining constant. These discrepancies affect handling and raise concerns about the gauge’s temperature calibration accuracy, which relies on factory conditions during manufacturing. While removing the rubber fill plug might resolve this issue, it could lead to leakage of the gauge’s liquid contents.

Key Benefits:

• Specialised Vent Mechanism: Ensures pressure equalisation for precise readings.
• Pressure Equaliser Button: Simple solution to rectify temperature-induced pressure differentials.
• Accurate Readings: Maintains accuracy regardless of environmental temperature shifts.
• Leak Prevention: Avoids the mess and inconvenience of traditional venting methods.
