Tyre Pressure Management

摘要

One of the major factors affecting tyre safety is tyre pressure maintenance, ie keeping tyres at their optimum pressure for their full life cycle. One of the most cost-effective and safe ways to achieve this is through the use of high-grade tyre sealants, such as those supplied by Air-Seal Products Ltd. Their high-quality NATO-approved sealants are used around the world by the UN as well as by many high-profile quarrying and mining customers. The main function of Air-Seal's high-performance sealant is the prevention of under-inflation. The vast majority of under-inflation conditions are not caused by large punctures, but instead are the result of slow, insidious air loss that often goes unnoticed by the vehicle operator. The source of such air loss can be due to rubber porosity, very small punctures, valve-stem leaks or bead/ 0-ring leaks. This type of under-inflation can and sometimes does lead to catastrophic failures, with obvious safety consequences.
