rossi_j 99 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Oxygen cylinders are the highest pressure rated welding kit but even then the max pressure is 200 bar and most cylinders are rated a lot lower than that, certainly the ones that BOC or whoever sell to the general public. It's just one of those things that ain't worth messing around with the wrong kit, I've seen what can happen when very high pressure gas goes tits up and it's really not good..... ^as I thaught andy, also I think if the bottle is over a certain pressure and sieze, I think it is classed as a pressure vessle and you may not even be able to store it legally and the money you save will probably go on the first mandatory annular inspection. Bottles you can get for 70quid second hand, save yourself the bother mate .atb. .ste. Quote Link to post

It's just a non starter for so many reasons.... Quote Link to post
