in the equation PV = nRT, the "n" is a conversion constant, it doesn't change.

That's a nice gage, stainless braid and all, but it's still not calibrated. What about altitude compensation (like baking) for guys like ckcarr and our Colorado brethren? That gage reading is a comparison to the local atmospheric pressure, not to an absolute pressure. Of course 36 psi "gage" read at sea level should provide the same amount of internal force as 36 psi "gage" at 5000 feet altitude. But do we really know that for fact?
