Universal Compression Tester - Lang

The Lang TU-30A Universal Compression Tester is a professional-grade automotive diagnostic tool engineered for precise assessment of internal combustion engine health. Manufactured in the USA, this robust kit provides technicians and mechanics with the necessary equipment to accurately measure cylinder pressure across a broad spectrum of gasoline engines. Its comprehensive design facilitates efficient troubleshooting and proactive maintenance in professional service environments.

Key Features

• Dual-Scale Precision Gauges: Equipped with a 2-1/2" (M68) main gauge offering 0-300 PSI and 0-21 bar readings, and a dedicated 1-1/2" (M43) small engine tester ranging from 0-200 PSI and 0-14 bar, both featuring protective boots for enhanced durability.
• Universal Engine Compatibility: Designed to test compression on a wide array of gasoline engines found in domestic and foreign cars, light trucks, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and outboard motors.
• Efficient Operation: An integrated quick-coupler allows for swift changes between hoses and adapters, while a push-button pressure release valve enables rapid gauge resets for sequential cylinder testing.
• Comprehensive Adapter Set: Includes multiple flexible hose adapters (M14 short/long thread, M12/M16 for Ford Triton 3-valve engines) and solid adapters (M10, M12, M18), all with O-rings for secure, leak-free connections. An 8-inch extension tube and a 24-inch extension hose are also provided for challenging access points.
• Durable and Organized Storage: All components are housed in a robust plastic storage case with dedicated compartments, ensuring protection and organization for extended tool life in demanding workshop conditions.

Applications

The Universal Compression Tester is an essential tool for diagnosing various engine performance issues and facilitating routine maintenance.

• Engine Health Diagnosis: Accurately measures cylinder pressure to identify common internal engine problems such as worn piston rings, faulty valves, valve seat leakage, blown head gaskets, or cracked cylinder heads.
• Troubleshooting Engine Issues: Assists in diagnosing symptoms like engine misfires, reduced power output, sluggish acceleration, poor fuel economy, or difficulty starting.
• Routine Maintenance: Enables proactive maintenance by detecting emerging problems before they escalate into more significant and costly repairs.
