Manometers. Where is the quality?

[2L8]

Are there any Manometers better than a grade "D" out there for our Airguns as a replacement/upgrade?

Not sure as I have tried FX, Huma, Wika and Edmu led electronic gauges. The first 3 had inaccuracy's/inconsistency's the Edmu was the most accurate but leaked between the metal and view window. I have accepted the inaccuracy's and adjust the differences in my head. Will be interesting to see others opinions.

Have two Wika, and two EDMU, they are all spot on however the EDMU is more precise as it’s digital.

I know others that have had bad examples of both however, it seems that quality can be an issue. I would buy either of them again if needed as the options are limited.

I will probably try the new FX gauge when it becomes available, I speculate that it will be at least as good as the EDMU, hopefully it will be easier to service if needed.

Wika for me works good: https://palmbeachairguns.com/product/wika-315-bar-gauge/

I simply use a "A" or "B" grade gauge on my fill tank, and then 'pop' the window off my "D" gauge and calibrate it with my fill tanks gauge...I'm content with the results and my "D" gauge readings have not changed since calibrated.

Thank you all, these are great suggestions that have not popped up in my searches. Digital sounds great, if there not to fussy. I found a Winters PSP103000 in 25mm that is a grade "B", made in Canada, but they are out of stock/production. I will consider all of the mentioned as a far better gauge than my stock Marauder gauge.

How to calibrate a manometer?

To calibrate a gauge you use a dead weight tester.
