To expand on what Frank said, If your compression gauge has the checkvalve up at the gauge after a length of hose, the volume of the hose can be significant to give you a lot lower reading on these small cylinders. I have one compression gauge like this that I don’tr use anymore for that reason. You want the checkvalve right at the cylinder.
