Fire extinguisher

[airman]

Me, being a curious nerd, once watched how they refilled our schools expired chemical fire extinguisher. What the guy did he had these co2 cartidges and just connected them out sides, there was a little shhhh sound and then he dis conected it. If my memory is correct that is, but why dont you jsut use an old bulk tank i got 7 of them lieing around and have no use fore them and they have normal theads, ask in an aquarium store.

I have no idea where to find a tank. It has to hold at least 200 psi and be small and lite enough.

Ok well 300g is some what light it holds 250bar(about 4000psi)so pressure is no problem.. ask in an aquarium store as i said or get an iron tube and two end caps and then you have a pretty strong tank.

What do I ask for in an aquarium store? What are those tanks for?

2kg CO2 extinguishers are constantly pressurized to 80 bars. that is 1160 psi. I think you'll find a use for it.

That must be a heck of a hot place those 2kg extinguishers are stored. At room temperature co2 turns to liquid in the realm of 60 bar. Maybe that's the rated working pressure ?

I don't know if I've mentionned it but I need something not too big and light. I don't want to make a cannon but more like a gun or small rifle.
