How much should the ip pressure drop on a good hard breath?
The reg is an Apeks TX-100. The tank had 3000psi. I hooked up an ip gauge to the inflator hose and got a solid 138psi with no creep over a couple of minutes (spec is 135 +/-5). Took a couple of good hard breaths, and with each inhale the ip dropped to about 123, then jumped back to 138 immediately after each inhale.
Is that much drop right as expected?
