    What is the pressure drop of an acceptable C02 leak.

    Would taking a tap and die over a the fittings help if the have mating issues? You know thread chasing. I can not crank them any tighter as they are already starting to deform the hex part where you put the wrenches. I am at a total loss, as i can not see not hear any co2 leaking. I am ready...

    What is the pressure drop of an acceptable C02 leak.

    I have no flare fittings, and I knew not to use sealant on flares. The unions are npt gas unions, they have a plastic ring to seal them. There is no leak after the shut off valves. So the unions are working at pressure up to 8p psi. I have sealed the fittings before assembly with rector...

    What is the pressure drop of an acceptable C02 leak.

    I can not use final tubing for 3 reasons. 1 the lines are going from the outside of the freezer to the inside, the metal has abraraded the final lines causing them to burst. 2. We live in an area where there are hot sulphur springs. There is a constant supply of sulphur gas that blows...

    What is the pressure drop of an acceptable C02 leak.

    Duly noted. But the problem is ABOVE THE UNIONS if you noticed the shut off valves are closed. There are no leaks down stream after the shut off valves. So this means that the unions and everything below them are holding constant, and are not leaking. The problem is between the tank and...

    What is the pressure drop of an acceptable C02 leak.

    The lines are 1/8 co2/ air lines. They have a burst pressure of 4500 psi. They use these lines in most scuba shops from the bulk tanks to the fill stations and from the fill stations to the scuba tank. I have been diving for 20 year's all over the world. These lines are the most common. They...

    The problem leak is some where between the co2 tank and the red line shut off valves.

    What is the pressure drop of an acceptable C02 leak.

    Ok here is an update. I have reduced the testing pressures from 80psi to 28 psi on the gauges. I open the co2 tank valve to pressurized the lines. Then close the tank valve and shut off the line valves. So only the manifold down to the shutoff valves are pressurized.first attempt, I have tried...

    Stupid question I know but. Pressure using 1/8" hose to tanks.

    Hello everyone I think I already know the answer to my question but I just want to double check. I recently switched from 1/4 PVC hose from my co2 regulators to 1/8" co2 high pressure stainless steel braid hose, (looks very sharp)... BUT I am unsure if the pressure will drop. So as I...

    What is the pressure drop of an acceptable C02 leak.

    seeing that the ends of the pipes are not plugged and the hoses to the tanks are not connected, COULD it be that there is a small amount of co2 leaking past the shutoff valves?

    What is the pressure drop of an acceptable C02 leak.

    Hello all, I can not submerge the gauges, as they are not waterproof, the plastic cover are not sealed. I pressurized the system and my tank put 950psi in the system. I closed the valve of the tank and The drop down test has been running for 10 hours now WITH the co2 tank valve closed. after 10...
