232 bar with pump?

Thu Dec 08, 2016 1:16 pm

Hi all, I know that 200bar is easy enough and doesn't take very long but has anyone pumped to 232ish bar with a pump?

I don't have a pcp or pump to find out, just been having a chat with a guy.

That would exceed the rating of 99% of pcp gun cylinders so hopefully nobody has!

If its for a science lesson then I think its possible if the pump doesnt have a safety valve but you would need your full weight on it.

Ah yes I used a BSA cylinder as a buddy bottle and it was 232 rated so I'm pretty sure I just connected it to scuba tank and let it equalise. It replenished the S200 twice on one fill. It was 20 yrs ago so a bit hazy on detail.

If you don't mind mate, how long from empty does it take you to fill up with the pump?
