low pressure air
(OP)
I need to test some equipment that I am building, and to do so, I need to use air at 2 to 14 oz of pressure. I also need to be able to control and measure that air pressure. What is the best and cheapest way to acheive this. I have looked into regulating compressed air, but can't find exactly what I need. All suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm picturing a fan blowing into a duct with a sliding gate on the side of the duct. Read your pressure with a water manometer. Open the sliding gate to reduce pressure, close it to increase. You can build this setup with liquor store cardboard and $2.95 worth of duct tape.
