First we need to know the pressure range normally encountered in LEGO
pneumatics.  The hand pump ...measure the piston diameter and get the area.
Then measure the force on the pump when adequate pressure has been reached.
Then calculate pounds per square inch or the metric equivalent.  Then look
in your local auto-parts store.  With luck, you might find a small gauge in
the right range.  Then your problem would be the tubing connector.

Does anyone know of an air pressure gauge that is compatible with the Lego
pneumatic system? If such an item exists, where can I buy it? I'm working on
a school project which involves Lego air compressors and I need a way to
accurately measure the air pressure in the tubing/air tanks.

Thanks,
