Description:
A short tutorial on how to use a pressure gauge tool for compliance surveys in the field.
WARNING - We have stopped carrying the HMC International spring-type door pressure gauges shown in the video because the last two large shipments we received were all exactly one pound off when testing them against two fully calibrated digital gauges. They measured four pounds when they were actually exerting five pounds of force. It appeared that the labels on the measuring rods were shifted one pound off. Whichever type of tool you use, try to find a way to verify that it's accurate.
