- Digital Tyre Pressure Gauges for Aircraft

The Airtec Digital Pressure Gauge (89DPG) is a high-accuracy handheld device for measuring tyre pressure of up to 25 bar (360 psi). As a specialised aviation tyre pressure gauge, it is designed primarily for use in aviation and ground support applications.
This aircraft pressure gauge is constructed with a 304-grade stainless steel body, ensuring durability and resistance to the harsh conditions of airfield environments. For enhanced protection and usability, it is encased in a rubber jacket featuring an ergonomically designed handle for comfort and a firm grip. Powered with a long-life rechargeable Lithium-Polymer battery with an integrated charging function, the 89DPG aircraft digital tyre pressure gauge is built to meet the most rigorous ground support requirements with consistent, reliable performance.
Why Choose 89DPG Digital Tyre Pressure Gauge?
- Accurate, precise and reliable digital pressure measurement
- Robust, heavy-duty construction with an ergonomic handle
- Long-life rechargeable Li-ion Polymer battery
- Battery charge indication

How is an Aircraft Digital Pressure Gauge Different from a Normal Tyre Pressure Gauge?
Engineered for High-Pressure Systems
Aircraft pressure gauges are built to operate at pressures higher than those found in passenger vehicles. With a range engineered for pressures of up to 360 PSI, these gauges provide accurate readings without risk of failure or damage.Compliance with Safety Standards
For certified performance, aircraft pressure gauges, such as the 89DPG tyre pressure gauge, are calibrated to ISO/IEC 17025 and are compliant with BS EN 12645 and 86/217/EEC standards. A traceable certificate of calibration is included with each unit, providing a verifiable record of its accuracy for your complete quality assurance.Constructed for Harsh Airfield Environments
Digital tyre pressure gauges are engineered to withstand the demanding condition of the airfield. Much like the 89DPG tyre pressure gauge’s 304-grade stainless steel body, aircraft digital pressure gauges provide exceptional resistance to corrosion from weather and common aviation fluids. The core is encased with a thick, impact-resistant rubber jacket to absorb shocks and to protect it against accidental drops. This design ensures reliable performance through daily operational demands.How to Choose the Right Aircraft Tyre Pressure Gauge
Required Pressure Range
A professional aviation tyre pressure gauge accommodates the extreme pressures of aircraft systems. Opt for Airtec Corporation’s range of tyre pressure gauges, engineered with a high-pressure range that provides the accuracy and safety margin required to service a wide range of commercial and private aircraft.Digital vs Analogue
Digital technology provides the unambiguous clarity essential for safety. Unlike analogue dials prone to reading errors, an aircraft tyre pressure gauge offers precise, repeatable measurements. Choose instruments that deliver instant, accurate results, eliminating guesswork and ensuring confidence in every critical pressure check.Durability & Environmental Resistance
Engineered for the tarmac, aviation tyre pressure gauges should feature robust construction for maximum durability. Their stainless steel body resists corrosion from fluids and weather, while the protective rubber casing absorbs impacts from accidental drops, guaranteeing both longevity and reliable performance. This tough design provides dual-layer protection for demanding airfield environments.Display Type
Choose aircraft pressure gauges with large, high-contrast LCD screens with integrated backlighting for exceptional readability. Whether in direct sunlight on the apron or during night maintenance in the hangar, the display provides precise, immediate readings to prevent errors and enhance operational efficiency.Accuracy & Tolerance
Precision is non-negotiable in aviation. The tyre pressure gauges, such as the 89DPG are built to a strict accuracy tolerance of ±0.5% of full scale to ensure every measurement falls within rigorous safety limits. This level of precision provides the confidence required for verifying flight readiness and maintaining the highest standards of fleet safety.Calibration Certificate
Aircraft pressure gauges must come with a traceable calibration certificate, guaranteeing its accuracy upon delivery. This documentation confirms the instrument has been tested against recognised standards, providing the verifiable proof of compliance required for professional maintenance records and quality audits.Why Choose Our Aircraft Digital Tyre Pressure Gauges?

- How often should tyre pressure gauges be calibrated?
Unlike mechanical pressure gauges, the accuracy of a digital tyre pressure gauge only needs to be verified against a certified calibrated gauge. There is no need for physical calibration once the tyre gauge is proven to be accurate. Calibration can still be done to ensure the aircraft pressure gauges adhere to each organisation’s internal quality assurance schedule.
- How do I know if my tyre pressure gauge is accurate?
A reliable method is to check its reading against a master gauge that holds a recent, traceable calibration certificate. Alternatively, the gauge should be sent to a certified calibration laboratory for professional verification of its accuracy and performance against industry standards.
- Can I use a regular tyre pressure gauge for aircraft tyres?
No. A regular tyre pressure gauge is not designed for the extreme pressures of aircraft tyres and lacks the required accuracy and durability. Using a non-specialised pressure gauge poses a significant safety risk and is non-compliant with professional aviation maintenance regulations.
