How Does a Tire Gauge Work?
by Don Bowman
A tire gauge is used to monitor the air pressure in the tires. When it is placed on the Schraeder valve, the air pressure forces the measurement stick out, showing the amount of pressure in the tire. In the case of a tire gauge with a dial indicator, the air pressure forces the needle up to show the amount of pressure being released from the tire. The stick or needle can only move until the pressure between the tire and the gauge is equalized.

How to Read a Tire Gauge
by John Stevens
Maintaining a tire's air pressure will ensure that the tire will operate at its peak efficiency. A tire gauge is used to measure this pressure. Most tire gauges provide two different units of measure: psi and kPa. The term psi, or pound-force per square inch, is the unit of measure most commonly associated with automobile and motorcycle tires. The term kPi, meaning kiloPascal, is a unit of measure commonly used for smaller tires, such as those for bicycles. The psi reading on the gauge is usually marked between 0 and 120, while the kPa reading is generally marked between 150 and 800.
