Is it a leak? Is it air temp? Is it just me?

[PasadenaMike]

How do you determine when it’s a leak or just a change in air temp? Humidity? Atmospheric pressure ?

So you have a hunch that your gun is leaking but don’t seem to locate any bubbles even when submerged. The gauge is digital so the slightest change shows a different pressure. When do you call it good? When you don’t see bubbles? When the medication kicks in? I need anti anxiety medicine lol . I gotta just let things go and believe in the bubbles.

You know it's a leak if the air is empty after a week

I cranked some numbers....assuming you filled your bottle to 250 barg and it's at 70 F and dry....every 1 degree F change in temp is ~10.5 change in psi or ~ 0.7 change in bar so +1 F, + 10.5 psi, -10 F change, -7 change in bar...
So if you filled your bottle inside at 70F and took it outside and it was 40 F and you let it cool to 40 F the bottle pressure would drop from 250 barg to 228.4 barg

Mike, are you experiencing any of the following symptoms?

Hair loss, confusion, nightmares, headaches, fatigue, hallucinations?

If so, the answer is simple, digital gauges for Airguns are the spawn of some evil demon.

You know it's a leak if the numbers keep going down. If the environment changes and the numbers go back up - it's not a leak.
