All the cylinders we supply are new and unused, however, the 5 year test cycle begins from the date the cylinder is manufactured! Cylinders may have been in stock with us or the suppliers for a period of time.  To ensure the best value for the customer, any cylinder sold that has a manufacture date more than 12 months from the purchase date, we will test the cylinder FREE OF CHARGE before shipping. Therefore your cylinder will have 5 years of hassle free use before requiring its next test!

Airgun and Diving Cylinder Testing Explained

According to British Standards, diving cylinders require testing every 2½ years from date of manufacture, alternating between visual and hydrostatic test. Surface-use cylinders (such as Airgun Charging Cylinders) once every 5 years. (There are exceptions) The simplest method to determine a cylinders use is to examine the valve fitted. If the valve has surface-use features like the Jubilee Gun Valve with bleed and dry gauge, a 5 year test is acceptable as that cylinder/valve configuration cannot be used for diving. However, if the cylinder and valve configuration can be used for diving (irrespective of whether you dive or not) the test station will treat this as a diving cylinder and award a 2½ year test.

What Size Airgun Charging Cylinder Do I Require?

This is always a bit of an approximate calculation as the pressure and volume of air used for each fill depdns on the temperature and the rate you fill your Pre-Charged Rifles reservoir and also how accurate your gauges are! However a quick rule of thumb calculation, based on the following factors would be: Your reservoir on the rifle being 200CC (1/5th Litre) You fill your reservoir to 200 Bar You refill when your reservoir reaches 150 bar. A 300 bar cylinder has approximately 100 bar of usable pressure - full cylinder pressure - the reservoir refill pressure. This equals 300 Litres of usable air for a 3 litre cylinder | 400 litres of usable air for a 4 litre cylinder | 700 litres of usable air for a 7 litre (Assuming full to 300 Bar) Each refill from 150 Bar back to 200 Bar uses 50 Bar of air X the reservoir capacity: Each refill uses 50 Bar X 0.2 Litres = 10 Litres A 3 Litre cylinder will give just under 300 / 10 = 30 Fills A 4 Litre Cylinder will give just under 400 / 10 = 40 Fills A 7 Litre will give just under 700 / 10 = 70 Fills NOTE: These are approximate figures and rely on accuracy of filling, controlled rates of filling and that the optimum usage of all the air without wastage.
