I really need to know what pressure Co2 is putting in the lines??? Unregulaterd psi straight out of the tank... I need to know what pressure rated line to get... I'm working with a Clippard dealer and they don't deal with "macroline" so I need to know this... Thanks!!!! |

| between 700-1100psi depending on how full the tank is. I would get 2000psi line. |

2000 psi line is your best bet. itll cost a little more, but its worth
it to not have your macroline explode. (the tech at my proshop's friend
had this happen, he put macroline with Co2 and left it outside. you can
figure out the rest)

| You shouldnt really use macroline with CO2 anyway. |

Since the pressure of CO2 is temperature dependant more then anything. Unless you REALLY overfill a tank or it's almost empty, here is a handy chart for you.
Remember P * V = (m/MW)* R * T  -------------

There's nothing wrong with using macro with CO2. Hae you ever cut through a steel braided hose? Do yuo know whats inside? Macro... ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

Negative, co2 is a constant pressure depending on temperture, not fill. The only reason an overfill can blow out is theres no room for the boil off to expand into gas, so it blows the burst disc when it takes a very small temperture hit. -------------

That why if you look at the chart, from almost empty to full at 70 deg F, it stays at 853 psi. Then when the tank is over filled you get a really big pressure spike, that's the point the tank is all liquid and has no where to go. -------------

I would determine Co2 by ounces, not PSI, PSI is for compressed air.

Co2 liquid is ounces. When it leaves the bottle and travels into the gun, it expands into a gas. That gas pressure is what he needs to know in order to keep the line from blowing apart. |

You can use macro line with CO2; just don't put any sharp bends in it
or you will eventually get a little surprise. (Yes, I learned
this the hard way.)
