Cois Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Are you talking about the green ones they use to to up your aircon gas with?If its them than I can get a crap load of it. My friend makes bread ovens for the braai and potjiekos stands/furnace out of them.Alternatively I just shoot at them on stupid distances...If anybody is looking for a couple in the western cape give me a shout!Jip those bottles. My uncle has a few around. So know I can get one or two if I beg like Oliver Twist
Boerklong Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 As long as we leave words like "isis", "fbi" and "president" out of this thread I dont think the authoritys will see this as bomb building 101
Cois Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Yeah rightOkay... But I think I will never go past 4 bar in anycase. It is just to get a burst of air. And the pump that I have can't do that...

Free delivery too.http://media3.takealot.com/covers_tsins/36925042/36925042-zoom.jpeg?1426600859I already have a compressor so I don't bother with such experiments. Quite frankly I'm not competent enough to mess about with such things.I'll probably get carried away and break something. Igor! The Switch!

The Switch!You won't get a tubeless tyre to seat with that kompressortjie. It's output volume is too low. Been there, tried that.

R300 Max 780 ......that way less than most compressors and you probably have everything exept the extingsher alreadyWith the Extinguisher you can seat a tubeless tyre, many times over. Max 10bar which is a tenth of the capacity of a cylinder once tested so I am told? Never need it that high. Extinguisher - FreeRegulator - FreePressure test - R85Fittings, certification testing etc- R300 Able to pump car tyres, all bicycles, HP air cleaner, have compressor at home to top up,or use the garage, it is portable, spray painting?Put a decent gauge on it and away you go.
BaGearA Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 excuse the ignorance < what exactly does the regulator do?
BaGearA Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 http://www.pinkbike.com/u/bighitter/blog/how-to-make-a-not-so-ghetto-tubeless-inflator-for-less-than-15.html I was planning on doing it this way no regulator that is talked about?
Sepia Posted April 28, 2016 Author Posted April 28, 2016 excuse the ignorance < what exactly does the regulator do?Basically allows you to use a much lower pressure than the supplied higher pressure. It "regulates" the pressure constantly to a pre settable pressure (scuba). Like a transformer from 220v down to 12v. If I understand it correctly.
Paul Ruinaard Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 excuse the ignorance < what exactly does the regulator do?Umm.... Stops you from applying 200 PSI to a rim and tyre and blowing it to bits and yourself in the process. Google some pictures and videos on Youtube of truck tyres letting go and you will get the idea. Many people have been blown through the roof of buildings like this As it says it regulates the pressure. I think that if you don't understand this you may be showing a bit of a lack of understanding of how dangerous compressed air is and maybe you should stick to other DIY projects. You could potentially disappear in a bang.. Or on second thoughts could i suggest that you video your tests as you will likely end up going viral on Youtube...
Grebel Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 A regulator regulates the supplied pressure. IOW if you pressurize your tank to 10Bar and set the regulator to 2Bar, and line pressure after the regulator will be 2Bar. Just bear in mind that you are looking for volume of air (or more specifically a certain volume of air in a certain amount of time) to seat a tyre and not necessarily just pressure...
Sepia Posted April 28, 2016 Author Posted April 28, 2016 Or on second thoughts could i suggest that you video your tests as you will likely end up going viral on Youtube... Will do. I will start with the pressure test and certification. That should be interesting enough.............should keep them glued to their seats.

Just bear in mind that you are looking for volume of air (or more specifically a certain volume of air in a certain amount of time) to seat a tyre and not necessarily just pressure...What you need is in the old terms CFM or cubic feet per minute of delivery. That is the key, Not only pressure. That is why you use a reservoir like a tank as a store of air. If you dont have enough CFM you will never pop a tyre on to a rim. THis thread truly scares me.
