You don't know for sure how accurate a gauge is unless you compare
it to a lab standard, but repeatability is a good sign, and these
always do. FWIW, they agree with the TPS monitor in my Mustang.

<blockquote type="cite">A couple of tire pressure gauge questions:
<br>
<br>
I got tired of cheap Horrible Freight tire inflators, so I
sprung for a brace of Milton S-506 inflators, thinking of they
were good enough for the gas station of my youth, they ought to
be ok now. One in the garage, one in the shop...they don't see
a ton of use. Last week, I was filling bicycle tires in the
garage with the hotdog compressor, and couldn't get the air up
sufficiently in the tire. Finally went to get another
gauge...my electronic gauge quit, and my 50 years old Bridgeport
Brass gauge needs rebuilding, so I grabbed the.othwr Milton
inflator. Turns out, I had missed blowing up the bicycle tires
only by a miracle of Chinese rubber. One inflator reads 50 psi
while the other one reads 90.
<br>
<br>
So, like when two inmates at the asylum both claim to be
Napoleon, at least one of them is lying. And at least one will
need repairing.
<br>
<br>
So, two questions:.
<br>
<br>
1. Any suggestions for a good reliable electronic or analog
pressure gauge to verify/calibrate the inflators? (I also need
one to put in my daughter's car, so gloveboxability is a plus).
<br>
<br>
2. Anyone ever repair a Milton (or Bridgeport) tire gauge? Any
suggestions? The Milton's aren't very old, especially in terms
of what we old guys expect from our expensive American made
tools.
<br>
<br>
Bonus question:. How might one calibrate a pressure gauge
against a primary source? I'm thinking of a water column or
something, but 35 psi is approximately 80 feet of water. I'm
finding that impractical for home use.
