An automotive parts high-pressure cylinder designed for paintball, PCP and breathing use, the TUXING Carbon Fiber HPA Paintball Tank delivers 30 MPa working pressure for compact fills. Carbon-fibre winding with an AL6061 aluminium liner aims to keep weight down while meeting safety tests. Will the inspection cycle and certification match user needs?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Pressure Rating: 30 MPa / 300 Bar / 4500 psi working, 50 MPa hydrostatic test, 102 MPa burst
- • Best for: Paintball players and PCP rifle users needing a compact high-pressure cylinder
- • Not ideal for: Users who require DOT-approved cylinders or extended deep-scuba dives
0.42 L carbon-fibre-wrapped cylinder with an AL6061 aluminium liner and M18x1.5-6H neck thread. CE certification is listed, inspection cycle every three years and service life 15 years.
Longer short sessions between fills, thanks to 0.42 L capacity
Capacity is specified as 0.42 L / 420 cc / 25 Cu in with an M18x1.5-6H neck thread for standard fill adaptors. Compact volume is engineered for short, portable use rather than full-day dives.
A 0.42 L volume suits quick paintball skirmishes and short PCP shooting sessions, while remaining easy to carry and mount on markers or rigs.
High-pressure safety, with 30 MPa working pressure and 102 MPa burst rating
Working pressure is 30 MPa (300 Bar / 4500 psi), hydrostatic test pressure is 50 MPa and minimum burst pressure is 102 MPa. Those figures create a wide margin between normal operation and failure thresholds.
High safety margins make the cylinder appropriate for demanding tasks such as SCBA-style breathing and emergency respirator applications where reliable containment matters.
Robust, lightweight construction, with AL6061 liner and carbon and glass fibre winding
Imported AL6061 aluminium alloy forms the internal liner while carbon fibre and glass fibre are wound around the bottle body. Composite winding keeps weight down while transferring load to the fibres.
Durable composite construction delivers a trade-off of strength and lower weight, helping when carrying or mounting during active use.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is DOT approval included?
A: No. Certification lists CE approval and specifically states not DOT approved.
Q: What is the inspection cycle and service life?
A: Inspection is required every three years and service life is given as 15 years.
Q: Can these cylinders be used for scuba, paintball and emergency respirators?
A: Yes. Listed applications include PCP paintball filling, underwater breathing apparatus, snorkelling and emergency escape respirators.
🏆 Our Verdict
Compact high-pressure cylinders suit paintball players, PCP shooters and teams needing transportable breathing solutions. Carbon-fibre winding over an AL6061 liner combined with a 30 MPa working pressure and CE certification makes the construction both strong and transportable. Durable design and a 15-year service life mean sensible long-term value for regular users who follow the inspection schedule.
