PSI Measurement

Would a 20oz tank be 1200 PSI

b\c theres a gauge on a Diablo Mongoose 2 LED that im thinking about getting that goes 0-1200 PSI and im also wondering if you can use c02 on the gun.

A Mongoose! Ok w/e floats ur boat......my old bone daddy had one of them gauges on it too, it really dont do crap for HPA (hpa is 3000+psi) but for c02 mine was at like 800-900...just pay attention to the gauge on the HPA tank when u go to HPA.

I dont like the original one, that one is nice sorry for that man.....i need to READ! more! sorry dude, good gun, have fun, good luck, go own...

CO2 is a liquid when your tank is filled , at room temperatures , I would guess it runs around 8-900 psi .

 BUT a compressible liquid (read Cyrogenic ) is very , VERY temperature dependent , it follows the laws of liquid vapor , as the temperature goes up , so will the pressure inside the tank , and as the temperature falls , the pressure will decrease (thats why HPA is useful in colder climates ,or under sustained rapid firing conditions ).

In a situation where you draw pressure from a CO2 tank rapidly decreasing the pressure . It will get cold and the pressure will drop , thus causing the lower velocitys that HPA/Nitro is MUCH less susceptible to , almost negligently so .

In answer to your question , a 20 Oz , or 12 Oz , or ANY size tank (CO2 ) will run at the same pressure under the same conditions , thats just the volume of liquid that it will contain , with room for having usable vapors there (to shoot with ) .  

You understood what I said ? (hopefully ) . The cyrogenic part is any gas that can be used as a refrigerant , by compressing it , and letting it expand under controlled conditions , almost any gas can be compressed and used as a refrigerant/coolant/propellant , but all gasses have different liquid/vapor pressures , IE , CO2 , Oxygen , Nitrogen , Helium , Hydrogen , Ammonia, any gas can be made into a liquid , but the pressures involved , and other factors dont suit them for our applications . I have just had some experience with gasses , in my field of work .

^^ wat u take summer skool? Insomnia_CJ lol

Cool

 

that gun looks suspiciously (sp) like a dragun tes....and hpa will always be better then co2...
