Airgun Fill pressure

[I. J.]

The cylinder shouldn't have flared because the test pressure for 200 bar is 300 bar. So either it failed or more pressure was put into it.

I was under the impression and Ive been told by the shop owner, who has seen this on numerous occasions and changed a few flared cylinders which have been damaged by over filling. I understand it to be a fail safe system to stop a total failure.

Ive never done it myself or seen it done but it seems other have. http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread....damage-the-gun Post # 4,5,12 ....
