    I worked for Swagelok, assembling custom panels for various industries and pressure ratings. When a compression fitting is to be disassembled it was SOP to put a Sharpie match mark on the nut and fitting before loosening the fitting. When re-assembling you tighten slowly till the match marks...

    How long does a pcp airgun bottle last for?

    As many posts have shown, they last a very long time. And honestly, they probably have an infinite life. BUT, if your knowingly out of date tank ever failed for whatever reason and someone besides you is injured or killed you stand to lose everything you own. I’m not wealthy by any means, but...

    Official Thread - Alkin owners - check in!

    As much as it pained me to discard oil with very few hours on the expensive oil, I did. I didn’t want to be the guy to find out the hard way that I should have done it. Many industries and products have recommended service cycles or recommendations that are total overkill or totally necessary...

    Love my alkin w31

    Loosen the locknut on this part (red circle) and then turn the top hex clockwise. Start with 1/2 turn and see what psi increase results, then go from there. Lawyer statement: Don’t exceed manufacturers recommendation.

    The Grease cup on the GX CS4 is crap.......

    But that’s the design, and believe it or not it works… most of the time.

    The Grease cup on the GX CS4 is crap.......

    I think I’ve been reading about this greasing issue on every brand that uses the grease cup for four or five years. A couple years ago I had an Omega Air Charger. It had the typical grease cup that’s in hundreds of posts on AGN. If I still had it I would calculate the displacement of the...

    Ever have a tank split while filling

    Yep, a typical 80 cubic ft aluminum scuba tank has a wall thickness of .562” to .625”, and is 3,000psi fill pressure. High pressure (3,300psi) aluminum scuba tanks are even thicker. I’ve cut many 3,000psi scuba tanks to make into lamps and know the wall thickness because I measured them.
