    LP10 cylinder guages

    How reliable are the pressure gauges on pistol air cylinders? According to the guage on the filling cylinder I've filled to 200bar, the pistol cylinder gauges are registering half that pressure.

    Any suggestions, gent?

    mine slight difference less than 10% never as much as yours
    suggest to get your gauges checked at a shop or a friend asap,how old are they?

    The gauges on both my LP10 cylinders show slightly less pressure than the gauge on my 7 ltr cylinder...… it's not by much though, probably a couple of BAR.

    For instance, I fill to 200 BAR looking at the 7 ltr gauge, the LP10 cylinder gauges will show just under 200 BAR.

    About as reliable as often as you've had them calibrated...simple enough to have your cylinder one checked by whoever fills yours.
