Definition: The Submersible Pressure Gauge (more commonly called SPG) is the gauge that tells you how much air you have left in your tank. Air pressure is measured in PSI or bar. Most SPGs have a section of the dial highlighted in red which shows you when you're getting low on air.
Also Known As: SPG, Air Gauge, Air Pressure Gauge, Tank Gauge
