PSI DIRECTOR TO MAKE PRESENTATION AT TIRE INDUSTY CONFERENCE

San Antonio, TX (March 8, 2010) Al Cohn, Director of New Market Development and Engineering Support for Pressure Systems International will present “To Inflate or Not to Inflate – Is That Even an Option?” during the twenty-sixth annual Tire Industry Conference being held at the Westin Hilton Head Island Resort and Spa April 7-9, 2010.    The conference will address developments throughout the field of tire design, research and manufacturing.

Mr. Cohn's presentation, scheduled during Session II on Thursday April 8, will address the four major reasons that tires lose air pressure and how that leads to lower fuel economy, early removal miles and more roadside-related service calls.  Cohn will discuss how the different inflation systems available in the market: manual systems, central tire inflation, tire pressure monitoring and automatic tire inflation systems, may be able to mitigate the loss of air pressure and the resulting costs associated with it.  Also included in the presentation will be a review of pressure gauge accuracy, master gauges, and how stick and digital gauges differ.  Panel discussion will follow.
