Aviation: digital tyre pressure checking gauges

Newbow Aerospace, a design, manufacturer and supplier of ground support equipment to the aviation industry, has launched a range of digital tyre pressure checking gauges and digital strut service tools.

The innovative digital tyre pressure checking gauges are calibrated to an accuracy of ±0.4% FS allowing optimum aircraft tyre pressure settings to be achieved.



Capable of measuring pressures in excess of 500 psi and offered with a wide choice of small 8V and large 12V adapters, the digital tyre pressure gauge is compatible with all make and model aircraft as well as all OEM tyres.

The digital strut service tool is capable of exceeding pressures of 5000psi at an accuracy of 0.4% FS, allowing all aircraft make and model strut and accumulators to be serviced with efficiency and accuracy.

Operators and engineers can take advantage of a complete, ready to use unit equipped with hose and adapter set or simply take the modular digital pressure gauge head and retro fit existing in-service Newbow hoses and adapters.

Key features include:

* Powered by 2 x 3V AAA batteries
* Accuracy +/-0.4% FS
* White Backlight with on/off capability
* 4 Digit LCD display
* Battery Life Indicator
* Stainless Steel casing and connection
* Functions:  On/off, backlight on/off, Unit measurement, calibration
* Measurements: PSI / BAR / Mpa / Pa / Kg/cm²

The digital pressure gauge head on both the tyre pressure checking gauge and strut service tool is fully modular, allowing fitment to existing, in service hoses and adapters.

Marc Green, Sales Director for Newbow Aerospace said: “Newbow Aerospace has been supplying accurate tyre pressure checking gauges and strut service tools into the aviation industry for more than 50 years.

“Many of our global customers still prefer analogue pressure gauges but in an era of digitalization, we decided that now was the right time to complement our wide range of analogue equipment by introducing a digital range.”
