Default Re: Carbon Fiber compressed air tanks for AirGraver

Danny,

Steves regulator is for co2 and not for high pressure.

Air regulators (welding regulators) are for the high pressure so they are 2 stage. one stage to drop the 2800 psi to a usable pressure and the other stage is adjustable.

CO2 regulators are for low pressure only. if you put it on a high pressure tank it most likely will blow apart.. Be careful..

You can use a Welding 2 stage regulator on a CO2 tank but once CO2 has been put through it YOU cannot use it for anything else. There is a Oil residue in the CO2 that will contaminate the regulator and if used for Oxygen for welding again it will blow up... Again be carful. If you do this Mark the regulator not to be used for anything but CO2.....
