Most pumps on the market use rather simple dial gauges, which typically work just fine. However, these can lead to some level of human error in reading and so for absolute accuracy a digital gauge is hard to beat. I analogise it to throwing darts: accuracy is how close you are to the bullseye, so for a gauge, how close is 100psi to 100psi?

This is always a personal adjustment”, says Cancellier, “dependent on your air pressure — rebound is trying to control the force of the air spring returning to full extension.”To learn more about the issues with gauge accuracy and precision, we consulted Josh Poertner, the CEO of pump manufacturer Silca. Reasons to buy: Braided hose, Pressure Rite connecter means no air loss when disconnecting, accurate digital reading Precision is how repeatable your darts are. If you aren’t always hitting the 20 but you can tightly cluster your darts, you are inaccurate but precise. Similarly, if you hit left of bullseye, bullseye and right of bullseye, your average accuracy would be good, but your precision would be bad.” Finance is subject to application, financial circumstances and borrowing history.

What you are describing does not follow the laws of science. Just because something is labeled high pressure, low volume it does not mean you get high pressure without multiple pumps. My mini pump for tires is high pressure, low volume and you have to pump the crap out of it to fill a tire vs a low pressure, high volume floor pump. At the end of the day pressure and volume are inversely proportional. A floor pump would add greater PSI per stroke if you could apply enough force and the pump did not fail because it has more volume that it is trying to push into a confined space.

With such a high maximum pressure, we found it surprisingly good at lower pressures too; although double the numbers in the same gauge space does inevitably mean a loss of accuracy. So be warned that the gauge is tough to read at lower pressures.

But Poertner pointed out that there are numerous moving parts that must also be very carefully constructed to produce precision – and that fixing these issues requires design and manufacturing processes with nonlinear cost/benefit relationships.
