Thread: Bizarre cause of air suspension failure...

Sorry senior moment. 3.8 bar. Well within still. edited it

It's actually a small scuba cylinder. I can get them after they have failed their annual hydrostatic test. The test involves filling with water and pressurising to test pressure and measuring diameter expansion along the length as well as any change in length. Failure for high pressure use is failure, but for use at up to 500psi I would not be in the slightest bit concerned.

Although I have seen a failure during high pressure fill at a scuba shop where the bottom blew out of a cylinder. Apart from a few people coming out with bleeding ears, it landed across the road (after punching through the first floor (concrete) and out the roof) into Coogee oval some 4 foot down.
