Compressor damaging internals

THE MALE FOSTER on my cheapo easy fill that only see tank to gun has very little pressure indentation, I need a magnifing glass to see
well,,, like ya said, yours was used on a compressor, while shoebox has a lesser effect,,, my most damage was done by a yong heng,, used for a short while,,, it did the mushrooming of the brass probe,,, my coltri does less damage with a lot more use, I believe it is because of the water/air seperator and desicant towers act as buffers, that the yong heng was lacking, and also since I got my bottle for filling my Weihrauch 110 and 44, it's probe fitting (male foster) has suffered no more damage,,, from bottle to gun-tank filling.
Every stroke of the piston creates vibration, the speed of vibration increases damage,, we did vibrational analysis of rotating equipment to measure the vibration, speed and amplitude,, it has affect on equipment longevity (old power plant mechanic)
I am well aware of the condition of my equipment and know when and how to replace or repair, I prefer my probes have threaded end, instead of the one piece probe/foster, so I can change just the foster half on my factory probe,,, the brass one is for my SPA P-15 china cheap stuff, good thing I have extras,,, fosters are wear points, they wearout , break , fail
while pressure indentation does exist ,, especially on brass and not all steel has the same hardness,, the pulse is far more damaging due to it's multiple hammering ,,, peening the dog turds out of it,, what wears out shockabsorbers?and associated parts? smooth road or washboard road

Quote, "it only raises the pressure in the Guppy tank about 32 psi per minute.",,, but you have to run it longer,,, it adds up to more pulses
