Abstract:
A method for measuring and adjusting pressure of one or more tires intended to provide the tire with an appropriate pressure when the tire is under conditions of temperature and pressure unequal to nominal values of temperature and pressure which correspond to a temperature defined as ambient temperature, and a pressure defined as the appropriate pressure for the tire at ambient temperature while the tire is at rest, the method comprising the following steps:measuring the pressure inside the tire;measuring the temperature inside the tire;calculating a pressure value equivalent to the nominal pressure as a function of said measured temperature value, said calculated equivalent pressure being an appropriate pressure for use in the tire at the measured temperature conditions;displaying the measured temperature and pressure values, as well as the value of the pressure calculated as equivalent to the nominal as a function of said measured value of temperature;introducing said calculated equivalent pressure value into an air supplying machine; andsupplying said calculated equivalent pressure into the tire.
