Really struggling with this group buy, Metal and Plastic ones(which are now better performers than metal) are made in China and sold globally by a wholesaler, Nobody wants to offer a discount of any consequence even for 50 of the f'in things so its officially parked to be revisited.  :-[

Remember: The Nationals are just round the corner - time to get brewing

Talking of testing one that I MUST do is a max pressure test to see at what pressure a pet bottle lets go!

Looking foreward! Just need a warm day as there will be a lot of water. As this is not strictly a hydraulic test (relatively safe) it will involve water and compressed gas (less safe) and a propensity for getting soaked.

Must do a video!

Professor, the caps are not rated above 3 bar for retention of pressure.
I supply Beverage Plastics in NI who make bottles for CC and the other majors and they work 2L PET bottles 150psi or 10 bar.
It will look like a rugby ball long before that.
Lots of factors determine performance but please look at this before you or anybody attempts  :(
