    AEA Pressure limits for aluminum tanks? (AEA/BinTac airguns)

    That I didn't know. True across the board? I also downloaded an AEA manual that lists the aluminum tank as "7075 aluminum alloy," and I found tables on its wall thickness vs. PSI strength. I suppose faith will suffice on this!

    AEA Pressure limits for aluminum tanks? (AEA/BinTac airguns)

    Understood. It's mainly that I like the streamlined look and size of these narrower aluminum tubes vs. a bottle. The gist of my question is why aluminum is only said to handle 3,000 PSI but the S45 is rated at 4,500 PSI. Example...

    AEA Pressure limits for aluminum tanks? (AEA/BinTac airguns)

    Well, if I had wall thickness data (and more engineering knowledge) I could use that formula, but I'd have to cut a tank open unless they publish it somewhere. I have some wariness of Chinese products, like tainted foods and EV battery fires due to weak regulations. Are airgun tanks required to...

    AEA Pressure limits for aluminum tanks? (AEA/BinTac airguns)

    I'm considering AEA aka BinTac airguns with the 250cc aluminum tanks (e.g. S45 single tank version) but I'm concerned about running 4,500 PSI (website typo?) in a metal tank. As you know, carbon fiber is rated for 4,500 PSI but aluminum is limited to 3,000 PSI, generically. Can some aluminum...

    Air pistols, PCP air cylinders and their life expectancy

    Any sources on what "way more" actually means, especially if an airgun is stored for months without being fired?
