Compressed bottle
Hi there,
I have three questions for you about CO2 compressed bottle and
pressure regulator.
Well I bought a compressed bottle of 1Kg with a pressure regulator and two
pressure manometers yesterday. Now my questions are:
1 I can read a pressure of 51 atm (750 psi) coming from the bottle but
after the regulator I have no pressure reading in the outlet. The manometer
on the outlet has a scale from 0 to 3 atm but nothing moves even if the
CO2 is coming out and entering in my CO2 bell very fast.
Is this normal? I mean is it normal that I have no pressure after the
regulator?
2.I cannot set a right flow rate because after setting something like 1
bubble every two seconds I wait 5 minutes and the flow stops and I have to
turn again the valve and set it again to 1/2 bps
Is this normal? Do I have to set the flow every time until things
establish?
3.Is there a way to know how long will my bottle last?
Hope you can help me
Thanks
