⚡ At a Glance
- • Pressure Capacity: 6.8L capacity, 20-30 MPa service pressure, 3000-4500 PSI
- • Best for: Paintball players and PCP rifle users who need portable high-pressure air
- • Not ideal for: Situations that require DOT-approved cylinders or specific national certifications
Full-wrapped carbon fibre with an AL6061 aluminium liner delivers high-pressure storage with reduced weight. CE approved construction and hydrostatic testing data underline a design aimed at durability and safety.
Easier to carry in the field - thanks to full-wrapped carbon fibre construction
An AL6061 aluminium liner receives full-wrapped carbon fibre and glass fibre winding, with an external epoxy coating. The composite build reduces mass substantially compared with traditional steel cylinders.
Significant weight reduction lowers fatigue when carrying spare bottles or moving between positions, making longer sessions less tiring and more practical.
Consistent high-pressure supply - with 6.8L capacity and 20-30 MPa service pressure
Rated for 20-30 MPa service pressure, equivalent to 3000-4500 PSI, with an M18x1.5 bottle screw thread size for filling. Valve and regulator compatibility is indicated in the product name for PCP and paintball applications.
Stable pressure capacity supports reliable fills for PCP rifles and paintball setups, ensuring usable compressed air when required during matches or shooting sessions.
Designed for safety and long service life - thanks to rigorous testing and inner-surface treatment
Hydrostatic test pressure capability reaches 50 MPa, with a minimum burst pressure around 102 MPa for carbon fibre cylinders. Inner surfaces are specially treated to keep stored gas clean and odour-free.
Robust safety margins and a treated inner surface reduce corrosion and contamination risks, supporting an expected service life of up to 15 years.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for TUXING Carbon Fiber HPA Air Tank
