Is the gauge tested for accuracy before shipping? If so, what is its accuracy?

I think it is +/- 3% of full scale deflection. So on a 60 PSI max Gauge it would be +/- 1.8 PSI throughout the entire scale. Besides being able to read the gauge more accurately and buy one in the range your working with like for me its regular car tires so 60 PSI is best and the dial has 1 PSI markings if you get a 120 PSI Gauge with 2 PSI markings 3% of that is now +/- 3.6 PSI which is not good for standard tire measurements which are in the 30 PSI range. Overkill is not good with gauges

Don't know - but I have a bunch of tire gauges and this one looks accurate based on my experience. Why don't you contact Joe.

as far as I understood when I ordered it, it was calibrated, however the manufacturer listed that it works best toward the middle of the range of pressure 20-40psi as the gage loses a little accuracy at the extremes, as happens with all gages, thats why the make high pressure, and low pressure gages from what I understand. Hope this helps, thanks

I checked it with my other meter and it appears to be already calibrated. Both of my meters match.

Sorry. I use it to weigh yarn and spices. Haven't needed that much accuracy.

It works by measuring the pressure in the tank- the higher the pressure, the fuller it is- and the gauge is calibrated accordingly. It's fairly inaccurate due to changes in temperature, but it gives a ballpark estimate on how much fuel is left. I like mine, although a scale would be more accurate.

gauge is the thickness measurement for the product not the internal electric tolerance of the device

It hardly ever seems to be accurate. Have to keep track of the cups used....totally useless gauge!

There is a small gauge in the black portion that sticks off of the valve attachment. I found when using it with my schrader valves it is not always the most accurate.

It does have a gauge, but the first one I got didn't work so I had to exchange it. I had no problems with the exchange process, but others have mentioned that the gauge doesn't work.

Mine didn't and the digital gauge broke right after the return window closed. I would not buy again...

I think it is very accurate according to my experience, but I didn't use other expensive gauge to compare though.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that but the gauge runs from .012 to .053 ins or 0.3 to 1.35 mm. Hope that answers it.

I purchased this to check for continuity. I am not sure how accurate the resistance readings are.

I agree, I do not like "made in China" either. I'm not sure where this guage is made( I'd guess China) but it seems reasonably accurate. I tested it against a known good source and it read wihin +or- 2 lbs. accurate. Not bad for a reasonably priced unit. But, I just wanted to check my source only, not to depend on it for a daily user!

My gauge has an American Company's name and a USA address on it, but does not specifically say where it was made. I believe mine was made in USA and works very well. However, mine was bought 3 or 4 years ago and production may have changed.

I'm not positive, and won't be back where the scale is for a month, but my recollection is that the numbers on the gauges are engraved rather than printed. At any rate, they're durable.

I don't really know but the gauge has reads up to 160psi. Don't know if that means it can.

The scale comes pre calibrated with a certificate of calibration. However if you still want to check accuracy just use a dime or nickel.
