Application Examples
Critical Aviation Tire Pressure Measurement

The PG-7 digital pressure gauge can measure critical aviation tire pressure quickly and reliably.
Market

Aerospace

The peak hold feature of the PG-7 enables the capture of the true tire pressure value with a momentary sample.
The military services require a reliable and accurate gauge to measure tire pressure between flights and as dictated by periodic maintenance schedules. The PG-7 was originally designed for the Navy F-18 fighter aircraft assigned to carrier duty.

Tire pressure values are critical for the safe operation of aircraft during takeoff and landing aboard the carriers, and the PG-7 has proven to be great improvement over traditional mechanical gauges. In addition, our backlit display allows for illumination of the 4 digit display eliminating the need for flashlights or other light sources which could compromise the position of the carriers in a battle situation.

Our auto-tare feature will quickly re-zero and calibrate the gauge to compensate for local atmospheric and temperature conditions, to derive true pressure reading in any environment.
Some of the benefits offered by the PG-7 are:

Higher reliability
9 volt "low voltage" operated
Shock dampening boot to extend service life
Available in pressure ranges for any aviation application
High accuracy, low drift
