It shouldnt affect LP systems, but it will affect FP for obvious reasons. If someone knows of a supplier of 1000psi PRDs, then please let me know before I begin an assault on the RS website.

Alan,
The effects on regulated LP systems are less obvious than HP systems. Higher bottle pressures means higher delta pressure across the regulator and thus improved flowrate. Also as you know, as you use CO2 it chills, start off with a warm / hot bottle and this effect will be delayed. For reference and from memory at 31 Deg C, CO2 behaves in a different way with further temperature rise causing an exponential rise in pressure. This point is I believe at 1000psi. Dont worry, I have used and understand the arguments against the 1000psi relief valve.
As I said propose its removal if you wish.

Gloor has some regulators for oxygen that have a 900psi relief valve.
I had a batch of those, and can probably reorder, but not for 2 ofm.
The last time I was rather unplesantly surprised by the pricetag for less than a 100 seperate ones. And normaly they come as a part of a repair/overhaul kit, that is about as expensive as a new regulator.
If enough people contact me, I can try again for a useable deal.
And, when using CO2 or any other storaged gas on pressures higher then 16 bar(max nominal pressure low pressure systems) I insist on a relief valve, set at the maximum allowed pressure of the system or at 1000 psi as maximum in the rules.
Now, according to some I do not know what Im talking about, so ignore the rambling.
No, but maybe people are being deceived by your poor grammar...
For those who are: you are dealing with a Belgian for whom English is not a native language nor has he had English courses for 8 years in a row like I (fellow Belgian) had. It does not have anything to do with his technical knowledge. He is however speaking not only out of school training, but also some 10 years of practical experience as well.
Mario is of the Technical Committee in the Dutch roboteers association DRG too. Like Paul Cooper he gives advice, he does not state laws. And is open for suggestions.
Im just trying to make things clear to everyone, not simply defending my lifemate. Right ?

sorry, did I miss something?
who said Mario doesnt know what hes talking about?
Thank you Alan, you provided that link some time ago but couldnt find it this time.
James, certainly not me!!
I think for those ppl that know Mario, Do know he knows what he is talking about
does he?
Maybe thats why my robot was on his coffee table in the living room.
Im glad some people do.. considering I dont read half of the post anyway.. and when i do, I havent the foggiest what you lot are on about *giggles*
oh.. the joy of ignorance *giggles*
