2. Tire-pressure monitoring system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_monitoring...

   A tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) monitors the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on vehicles. [1] A TPMS reports real-time tire-pressure information to the driver, using either a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light. TPMS can be divided into two different types – direct (dTPMS) and indirect (iTPMS).

3. Schrader valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrader_valve

   The Schrader valve is used on virtually all automobile tires and motorcycle tires and most wider-rimmed bicycle tires.In addition to tube and tubeless tires, Schrader valves of varying diameters are used on many refrigeration and air conditioning systems to allow servicing, including recharging with refrigerant; by plumbers conducting leak-down pressure tests on pipe installations; as a ...

4. Direct TPMS - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_TPMS

   A typical direct TPMS (e.g. Ford, [4] BMW [5] or Toyota [6]) comprises the following components on a vehicle: A direct TPM sensor fitted to the back of the valve stem on each wheel; A TPM Warning Light; Unique identifier (IDs) for which tire is providing the data including speed and the direction of rotation; A tire pressure monitor electronic ...

5. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   Prior to 1964, tires were all made to a 90% aspect ratio. Tire size was specified as the tire width in inches and the diameter in inches – for example, 6.50-15. [29] From 1965 to the early 1970s, tires were made to an 80% aspect ratio. Tire size was again specified by width in inches and diameter in inches.

6. Dustcap - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustcap

   The dustcap is internally threaded and is secured by screwing it onto the end of the stem. To prevent corrosion due to electrolysis and malfunction of the electronics in a direct TPMS and avoid costly repairs, metal valve caps without insulating plastic linings should not be used on direct-TPMS-equipped tire valve stems. [1]

7. Tire-pressure gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_gauge

   Because of statistics like these, laws have been put into effect to regulate monitoring tire pressure in vehicles. TPMS, or Tire Pressure Monitoring System, is a safety feature integrated into vehicles (or added as an aftermarket component) that continuously monitors tire pressure and alerts the driver if the pressure in one or more tires drops ...
