Pressure in Tanks

[Jamesmb]

I was just wondering what the pressure in your HP tanks are in Europe? I had heard they were like 5000 or 6000 psi or over 300 bar.

Naw, I lived in France and my fills were in 200-230 bar range.

There are 300 bar rated Cylinders which have the working pressure of 300bar. Allies and other Steel around the 240bar mark.

The same here in Australia

In norway the most common tanks are rated for 200bar and 300bars.

Most of our cylinders are 232 bar but 300 bar are available, most people use steel infact I dont know of anyone with aluminium. The difficulty is getting an air fill to 300 bar as most places only have the facility to fill to 232.

I think the main problem in the UK is not so much getting the 300 bar fill it's NOT getting a 300 bar hot fill which eventually cools to considerably less

220 bar
