air tanks

[cannon monkey]

which would be better a 5 gallon tank that holds 200 psi or 10 gallon that holds 100 psi


i know i not that smart

[john bunsenburner]

Well the amount of air is exactly the same in both, what exactly are you planning to use the tank for? as a Bulk or as a chamber or what, as much detail as possible if you expect as much help as possible . I just noticed a gallon is a great amount of volume so what I really do not see what you would need so much air for, and where would you get the air from any how, compressor, hand pump?

[mark.f]

Depends on what operating pressure you want for your cannon.

hey mark maybe it is just me but why the hell would some one need a chamber volume of 5-10gallons that being 15-30 liters, It just confuses me a bit...

[Pilgrimman]

I would recommend 200 psi. More pressure always helps. The amount of air hardly matters if you have a reasonable cannon, running off a tank that big.

o right sorry guys i am in a rush library timer counting down til i get loged off but i using it for an air tank to just carry air i got a 11 pound mini air compressor and i want a tank i going out to the beach on new years and i dont wanna bring my compressor so i wanna make a tank
my chamber for what i know of is around
24 inchs long of 3 inch pvc
pressure i want any where from 40 to 120 psi

If isn't for the chamber on his cannon, it's just a tank to fill cannons with, I think.

IMO get

a 5 gallon tank that holds 200 psi

once you try higher pressures 100 psi seems very little... you might switch to higher pressures one day... what would you do with a 100 psi tank then ??

In this case go as big and as high of a pressure as you can. Each fill will be less pressure once you get down to a certain amount.

[john bunsenburner]

Why not just have a 10gallon tank with 200psi?

[Floyd]

Search around a bit, I am pretty sure someone here did a test with GGDT. It says that half the volume but twice the pressure is more effective. Try downloading the program and trying yourself.

Edit: Darn, I should read better..... Yeah, go for as big and as high pressure like JRRDW said.

[cannon monkey]

sorry for so long no time any more
i wanted to use this tank to fill my cannon
my cannon chamber is 3 inch pvc about 2 feet long

at 200 psi
i could get 10 or more shots around 40 psi right?

i getting a freon tank
and i believe their psi rating is 250 so idk

( free tank or 34$ for a 125 psi 10 gallon tank )
