Hi
I would like to construct my own regulator checker for my Air Arms pro-target.
Can anyone help please.
I assume the regulator will have to be screwed into a valve block but how do i cycle the valve to simulate normal use.
Any pictures drawings etc greatly appreciated.
Mark

Well as some of you may have spotted in my first post i work in the hydraulics industry for a company that designs and builds mainly hydraulic rams.
After talking to the guys in the drawing office about pressure vessel design it became quite clear to me that it is quite a complex subject involving quite a lot of calculations.

Thanks for your reply, if you are struggling for materials i could probably help you.We have a massive supply of cds [ cold drawn seamless] tubing at work all used in the production of hydraulic cylinders.

I didn’t realise there was a…Read more
