1.1/4500 psi, relate to the BAR measurement

[uncle_osiris]

I’m trying to find somewhere close enough to where I live that can fill air tanks, there are a few sites in the area, but ive also found some dive stores. On the charts that ive have read so far they often measure the pressure in BAR, which I believe is a tank pressure measurement. Could anyone explain to me how this relates to the paintball tank rating e.g. 4500 per square inch?
I’m going to do some research also but if anyone can help that would be much obliged.

Cheers for your time,
Paul.

4500 psi is around 300 bar. If you buy a dive tank and want to get big fills off it then make sre its a 300 bar tank ( make sure your fill rig is also a 300 bar fill rig ( DIN not clamp )

4500psi = 310 bar



So 1 bar is approximately 14.5psi




Other standard pressure levels you will come across are

207 bar = 3000psi
232 bar = 3500psi



psi = pounds per square inch

Tom is quite right - 4500 = 310BAR but the norm is to use 1 BAR = 15psi.

So a standard 4500 tank is refered to as a 300BAR set up.
