CO2 Bulk Cylinder

Post by Guest Twenty »

How long can a bulk cylinder last? I bought mine used. It has to be tested right away and I believe that I have had it tested 2 more times.

Thx

It will last until it fails a hydrostatic test. I've seen cylinders used in soda fountains that were over thirty years old. Unlike air, nitrogen oxygen and other gas cylinders, CO2, liquefies at a comparably low pressure, putting less strain on the tanks.

In line with this, how long would a compressed air tank last as for the Steyr LP1 is concerned? Mine is about 13 years old by now.
