The world comes to an end.








I'd say that's all the gauge is made to handle.

Arm it, point it straight and pin it. The pressure will come down.............

1250 is a bit high anyways isn't it? I usually spray mine around 1100-1150.

It will peg the gauge needle. Dont know if will cause any damage to it.

The pressure shouldn't get that high when filling the bottle unless the mother bottle is almost empty and they are just pumping away to get it filled. Then is might heat the bottle up to those pressures.

Yah, my guage goes to 2000psi, and it has gotten too hot before and gone past the point and pegged the guage, and now it reads 100psi off.

I believe anything over 1200psi it will turn into a gas and cause a severe lean condition.

You only weak point should be a 3000psi safety disk that bursts and lets the contents out once that psi is reached. Guage should be fine. Mine have been for years.

NO ! increasing pressure wont turn any liquid into a gas.. you were either kidding, or you need to get your school tuition fees refunded...

look at the diagram below.. at no point will increasing pressure turn any liquid to a gas ...

Gas PropertiesMolecular WeightMolecular weight : 44.013 g/mol
Solid phaseMelting point : -91 °C
Latent heat of fusion (1,013 bar, at triple point) : 148.53 kJ/kg
Liquid phaseLiquid density (1.013 bar at boiling point) : 1222.8 kg/m3
Liquid/gas equivalent (1.013 bar and 15 °C (59 °F)) : 662 vol/vol
Boiling point (1.013 bar) : -88.5 °C
Latent heat of vaporization (1.013 bar at boiling point) : 376.14 kJ/kg
Vapor pressure (at 20 °C or 68 °F) : 58.5 bar
Critical pointCritical temperature : 36.4 °C
Critical pressure : 72.45 bar
Gaseous phaseGas density (1.013 bar at boiling point) : 3.16 kg/m3
Gas density (1.013 bar and 15 °C (59 °F)) : 1.872 kg/m3
Compressibility Factor (Z) (1.013 bar and 15 °C (59 °F)) : 0.9939
Specific gravity (air = 1) (1.013 bar and 21 °C (70 °F)) : 1.53
Specific volume (1.013 bar and 21 °C (70 °F)) : 0.543 m3/kg
Heat capacity at constant pressure (Cp) (1.013 bar and 15 °C (59 °F)) : 0.038 kJ/(mol.K)
Heat capacity at constant volume (Cv) (1.013 bar and 15 °C (59 °F)) : 0.029 kJ/(mol.K)
Ratio of specific heats (Gamma:Cp/Cv) (1.013 bar and 15 °C (59 °F)) : 1.302256
Viscosity (1.013 bar and 0 °C (32 °F)) : 0.000136 Poise
Thermal conductivity (1.013 bar and 0 °C (32 °F)) : 14.57 mW/(m.K)
MiscellaneousSolubility in water (1.013 bar and 5 °C (41 °F)) : 1.14 vol/vol





the dotted green line is the funky solid to fluid line of water.. without wich you wouldnt be able to skate (melting the ice by applying pressure and skating on a film of water)

I appreciate your point of view, especially the graphs and illustrations....right down to the ice skating reference, but I disagree. Thanks anyway though.
