Abstract
This invention relates to a tire testing device, and in particular to a device for testing the tires of aircraft. The tire testing device includes a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor, allowing the calculation of the effective pressure at a reference temperature, so that the tires can be tested hot or cold. The device also includes an oxygen sensor, so that the oxygen content of the tire can be determined at the same time.
