Obviously not a recommendation. But.. steels are regularly seen overpressed to like 240+... alu... EEK! look athe materials data and you'll lose ANY desire to OP an alu tank.
Hi
Sure one cannot tell someone its fine to go beyond the legal working pressure.
Would you care to expand on the "loss of any desire..." ?
If you have any real life example from an alu cylinder failure due to OP by a user that would be very interesting (no 6351 pls)
Many newer alu cylinders have an additional thing stamped adding to the stamped fill pressures (200 or 232 bar, and the test pressure 300 or ~348 bar. The additional thing could be: 260 bar at 60
° C. I guess the 260/60° C could be interpreted in various ways...
