There are several critical issues in aluminum PCP air gun cylinder manufacturing that you should consider before placing an order with a high pressure aluminum cylinder manufacturer for your PCP air gun cylinder and regulator requirements. Let’s have a look at the most significant cylinder safety and reliability issues that can make a big difference to the PCP air gun experience.
Why are PCP air gun cylinders in demand?
Pre charged pneumatic (PCP) air tanks for PCP air guns are in demand because they are a popular choice for convenience, cost, and reliable performance. CO2 cylinders are convenient, and have a lower initial cost, but over time are more expensive per charge. PCP air guns are also a favourite for target shooting in many countries where gun controls prohibit the use of conventional target rifles.
What are important considerations for PCP aluminum cylinder manufacturers?
For a frequent air gun user it’s clear that a PCP air gun is the best choice, but there are three important considerations that you need to take into account when looking for a manufacturer of rechargeable high pressure aluminum cylinders of the types commonly used for PCP air gun charging.
- Inclusion-free high quality aluminum is the best option for PCP cylinders
- Continuous quality control for flaw-free aluminum cylinder manufacturing
- Look for a manufacturer with certification for high pressure aluminum cylinders
DCEC uses inclusion-free aluminum for our PCP air tank manufacturing
DCEC only uses inclusion-free aluminum that we source from reputable high grade aluminum refineries in the middle east for PCP air tank manufacturing. We start with the highest quality raw materials to ensure that all our high pressure aluminum cylinders will be manufactured to standards that protect users and your brand reputation.
Many aluminum cylinder manufacturers use lower grade aluminum to increase margins, but this is a serious issue that causes multiple problems for manufacturing and cylinder use. Inclusions from low quality ore, poor refining processes and lack of inclusion removal technology create weak spots in cylinder walls.
Even if a cylinder passes manufacturing quality checks, inclusions and lower grade aluminum result in accelerated corrosion, pitting, cracking and failures, especially for high pressure air cylinders of the type commonly used for PCP air gun charging.
Continuous quality control systems improve safety & lifespan of PCP cylinders
High pressure aluminum PCP cylinders must be manufactured with appropriate quality control for safety and to increase the working lifespan of the cylinder. PCP air gun cylinders are often used outdoors and in exposed locations, and need to be rugged enough to withstand conditions that are not commonly experienced by medical, domestic or commercial high pressure aluminum cylinders. Continuous quality control systems during manufacturing ensure that the cylinders meet or exceed engineering standards.
Certified manufacturing reduces quality inspection failures for PCP cylinders
The combination of high quality aluminum and rigorous quality control by a certified manufacturer is the best path to high quality aluminum PCP cylinder manufacturing for safety and longevity. A higher proportion of cylinders fail safety inspections if they are manufactured from low quality aluminum. This means the cost of high quality aluminum stock is offset by the reduction in quality control failures.
