Digital Aircraft Tyre Inflator Vs. Normal Tyre Inflator: Differences
Digital aircraft tyre inflators are specialised tools designed to meet the unique demands of aviation tyre maintenance, differing significantly from standard tyre inflators.
- Higher air pressure: Aircraft tyres require inflation pressures ranging from 150 to over 200 psi, necessitating inflators capable of handling such high pressures. In contrast, standard tyre inflators are designed for lower pressures.
- Outdoor and demanding environments: The aircraft inflators are built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, in contrast to normal tyre inflators are used in less demanding conditions.
- Use of nitrogen: Aircraft tyre inflators use compressed nitrogen, unlike tyres on road transport vehicles, which are typically inflated with air.
- Higher precision: They offer higher precision than normal tyre inflators. This difference is driven by the extreme demands and critical safety requirements inherent in aviation.
What to Look for in a Digital Aircraft Tyre Inflator?
When selecting a digital aircraft tyre inflator, several critical factors ensure safety, accuracy, and reliability in aviation maintenance:
Product construction
Durability is key for tyre inflators used in demanding aviation environments. Look for heavy-duty, weatherproof construction, like the die-cast aluminium enclosure, with an IP66 rating for dust and water resistance. Moreover, features like backlit LCDs are vital for clear readings in all lighting conditions, and piezo control switches offer robust, reliable operation.
Operating Range
Aircraft tyres require significantly higher pressures than standard vehicle tyres. The inflator’s operating range must accommodate this, typically supporting pressures up to 305 PSI. This ensures it can handle the full spectrum of aviation tyre pressures.
Accuracy
Precision is paramount for aircraft safety. Opt for inflators with high accuracy, such as ±0.5% full scale accuracy. Additionally, ensure the unit is factory calibrated to ISO/IEC 17025 standards and supplied with a calibration certificate, guaranteeing reliable and precise measurements.
Units of Measurement
When selecting a digital aircraft tyre inflator, ensure it supports multiple units of measurement. Commonly, you’ll find PSI (pounds per square inch) used in the US and often in the UK, while bar is prevalent across Europe. Kilopascals (kPa) are standard in countries like Canada and Australia, and kg/cm² is typically used in Japan.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aviation Tyre Inflators
- Can the aircraft tyre inflator be used as an air compressor?
No, an aircraft tyre inflator cannot be used as an air compressor. An inflator is designed to precisely regulate pressure for tyre inflation, while a compressor generates and stores high-pressure air for various tools and applications. They serve different functions.
- What is used to inflate aircraft tyres?
Aircraft tyres are typically inflated using a nitrogen tyre inflator containing compressed nitrogen. Nitrogen is preferred over regular air because it is inert, non-flammable, and moisture-free, which helps maintain stable tyre pressure and reduces the risk of fire or oxidation inside the tyre.
- How much PSI is in airplane tyres?
Airplane tyre pressures vary, but typically range from 150 to over 200 PSI, depending on the aircraft type and its specific requirements. Our inflator offers high-pressure inflation up to 305 PSI, ensuring precise inflation for diverse aircraft types.
