Pneumatic safety issues

[Gasbot]

It's also perfectly possible that the test pressure doesn't even come close to the burst pressure. If the same safetymargins as for hoses are held, a bottle won't burst untill reaching 600 bar +

And its also possible the bottles aren't the same as hoses so could burst at 225.3 Bar. Who knows... After all the construction and diameter of both are rather different.

Let me rephraze myself then.

The thing I agree upon is that storage bottles need to be certified. By the book.

I wasn't refering to bottles, I was refering to home made components, thats why I said

home made components

The can't do it is ony for a part correct.
Most of the time it's: we can't afford a test rig and a robot at the same time.
Or we can't afford to pay a firm to do it.
Independents over here did quote prices up to ‚1000 to test a Robots pneumatics. I'm lucky I know people at an independent firm.

The don't want to do is plain stupidity. If anybody working with pneumatics (or any high energy storage) acts like that, we have a potential Darwin Award contender.

Cant Do - Won't Do - whats the difference? The end result of both is the same.

we can't afford a test rig and a robot at the same time.

Like cars and car insurance?

1000 euro for an hours work, I should set up a shop where you are

Maddox, let me ask you a question - how do you quantify your pneumatics components? What kind of certification do you give out with the pneumatics you sell? You've been making pneumatics for people for as long as I can remember, pressure testing & certification should be run of the mill by now.

something will go wrong

Glad we agree on something.

I suggest a nice rubber room and soothing music to avoid most of the process called life.
