staglioni Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 when the bottle is tested it is sprayed inside with acid, then filled up to a lot more pressure than it will be used for,the outside of the bottle is measured then and any excess expansion renders the bottle as scrap,but its better than blowing you to bits!

Ok. I've heard some ... nonsense ... I'll put it that way, in my time. But acid ? where on earth do you get that from ? My wife is an IDEST cylinder tester, and she laughed when I told her that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Ok, I'm confused, I have a PCP and a bottle, been tested several times and stamped on the bottle each time, cert also supplied. Why would any site charge a bottle not stamped as in test, they need to see a verified bottle surely, not a piece of paper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 any bottle can be out of date but in test if the pressure is high enough from the fill that was made whilst in date of certification.... a strange bit of the rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
