Nitrogen Pressure
« on: February 06, 2009, 09:34:54 am »
I need to get the pressure checked on my 74 monoshock - standard was 320 psi - but can't find anyone that can go that high.  Any ideas?  Walter can you check/pressurise up to 400 psi?

thanks

thats OK - 350 psi is about 2450kpa!

Hope to go and see your guy in Perth today Walter - see what he can do - if not will have to send the shock over.

thanks

I'm a fridge / aircon engineer, we go up over 400psi on nitrogen on some new systems.
Do you know any a/c engineers.

Whats that in KPA ? the max I can go is 4500 KPA
I was told back in 1972 (I think) to multiply PSI * 7 = kPa which has worked fine. Seems to have stuck in my brain!  Reality is 6.895
