jamesleee123 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Hi fellas, I got an air tank as part of a second hand deal, its out of test and empty. What I want to know is what does PS300PT450BAR mean. There are loads of other numbers stamped on it but no other mention of bar. I'm going to get it tested next week. Cheers for any advice.

alan123shooting Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 The 300 I believe is the operating pressure of 300 bar and the 450 is the test pressure of the cylinder hence the T450 bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) Hi If getting tank tested shop around - 38£ including a fill at a local Dive Centre, but 65£ at an Airgun Shop.............

jamesleee123 Posted June 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 There is a place in Speke Liverpool that does it for £16 test and fill bargain! I did think it was a 300 bar just didn't know what the 450 meant its not exactly clear especially since my airgun club has been shut for 16 months and no one to ask any advice. Cheers fellas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetter Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 From a couple of tanks I have had that were 300 bar fill but the test pressure was 450 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papercase Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 300 bar way better tanks to have - wish mine was I'd get triple the number of fills. Super easy getting them tested and filled - i borrowed one from a family member and just test and go. Paid about £30 for my test and fill.

jamesleee123 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Well I took my tank to CTS, they are charging me a massive £15 to test £1 to fill and if it needs any work on it £5. So between £16 and £21, nearest rfd quoted £45. Bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
