My air bottles PSI, need help: Pics

[pballeruk]

My reg is 3000 psi, but I believe its on a 4500 psi or 5000 psi bottle.

Any help? Not filled it over 3000 yet as the reg is only 3000...

Heard that because its 310 bar, 310*16 = 5000 psi


Cheers

i think i am right here where it says PW207 this is the bottle working pressure which is 3000psi
and the PH310 is its test pressure for when its tested not sure though

The bottle I've got has similar markings and its a 4500PSI

Using an web based calculator, it works out
310 bar = 4 496.169 878 224 pound/square inch [absolute]

That's a 3000PSI bottle, my PMI 5000psi tank is marked PW345 PH517 BAR.

Yeah, test pressure for a 45k is around 7000 psi

 

[Raffles]

PW = Pressure Working
PH = Pressure Hydrotesting

not exact abbreviations - but easier to remember that way .

so PW207 = 3,312 (3k)
& PH310 = 4,960 (4k5)

So I would say both reg and bottle are equally matched.

Stay below 3k and all will be well.

And it's roughly 14.5 x bar = psi

310 bar = 4500psi

207 bar = 3000psi

232 bar - 3500psi
