Re: Compression

Hi, BN.<br /><br />Except that they become suspect if below 90psi, absolute compression measurements are far less important than comparative measurements.<br /><br />All cylinders should be measured with exactly the same technique and under exactly the same conditions.<br /><br />The range of measurements, highest to lowest cylinder, should be below 15% of the average, and is considered best if within 5-10%.<br /><br />Good luck. :)
