Comments on: Why can’t you run an air cylinder at 3,000 psi, like a hydraulic cylinder? /cant-run-air-cylinder-3000-psi-like-hydraulic-cylinder/ Tips, Trends, Resources, News and Information Thu, 06 May 2021 00:14:06 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.2 By: David Williams /cant-run-air-cylinder-3000-psi-like-hydraulic-cylinder/#comment-400720 Thu, 06 May 2021 00:14:06 +0000 http://www.pneumatictips.com/?p=5860#comment-400720 I’m building a compressed air accumulator and would like to get your opinion on the system strength required.

The 3 cylinders will be 160mm diameter x 500mm height.

The pressure in #1 will be 25psia; #2 will be 50psia; #3 will 100psia; #4 will be 150psia.

Will normal skin diving air tanks handle these pressures?
