A compressed air tank, or "carry tank," is a handy workshop or garage tool that allows you to store compressed air in a portable, easy-to-use unit. You fill up the tank with compressed air, using any type of air compressor, then carry the tank to wherever you need it. Compressed air tanks are most commonly used for filling up tires—on cars, bicycles, trailers, ATVs, etc.—but they're also useful for applications using a blow-off tip. The tanks typically are too small for operating air tools for more than a few quick operations.

In addition to capacity, compressed air tanks have a maximum pressure rating measured in pounds-per-square-inch or psi. Common ratings range from 125 psi to over 150 psi. This rating indicates the maximum amount of air pressure the tank can safely handle. However, it's a good idea not to fill the tank to its maximum pressure level, because air pressure increases with heat. So, for example, if you leave a tank in the sun the pressure inside the tank will rise even without adding more air. If the tank is completely full, the pressure could exceed the rated maximum pressure and cause a rupture.

Its relatively light weight and large size make a portable compressed air tank more useful in the field than a portable air compressor in many situations. For example, if you need compressed air in any remote location where there's no electricity to run a compressor, you can fill up an air tank at home (or at a gas station or hardware store on your way out) and carry it into the field. The compressed air tank is much lighter than an air compressor with a similarly sized tank, and it's much bigger than the tanks on highly portable compressors, such as pancake compressors.

By and large, we subscribe to the theory that a bigger air tank is better than a smaller one. here

If your air compressor is not built to run for extended periods of time, such as those that might be necessary to fill a 60 gallon air tank versus a 5 gallon air tank, then having a bigger tank may lead to maintenance issues. You need to be sure that your air compressor can run for longer than the typical 10 minutes on – 10 minutes off duty cycle if you are planning on using a bigger air tank. [links]

As air flows out your discharge coupler on the compressor, into the air line, and down to your air tool, if there were another tank in that line somewhere, that would only add to your capacity.

[gkelly]

Without the air tank on your air compressor the compressor motor and the pump would have to start every time you went to use compressed air, and when you let go of the air wrench trigger, you would no longer be using air, and the compressor motor and pump would stop. Start using air again, and the motor and pump would have to start.

The only reliable source for that information is the air compressor manufacturer. Sometimes it is hard to find out who that is, but that is grist for another mill! [links]

CENTRAL PNEUMATIC 5 gallon Portable Air Tank - Item 65594 / 41712 / 63605 / 69716 more

When a 44, 66 or 88 Cu Ft tank reaches around 3000 PSI, it's time to think about refilling it. This is air you can't "use" until you refill to a higher pressure. If you have two 44 Cu Ft tanks you can actually use them to more advantage than one 88 Cu Ft tank by a technique called "cascading". If you simply used one 44 tank down to 3000 PSI , and then the second to 3000 PSI, there wouldn't be an advantage over an 88. What you do to get the cascade advantage is use tank #1 until it can no longer completely fill your tank to the pressure you desire (i.e. maybe it can only fill it to 2800 PSI, but you want 3000 PSI). Now use tank 2 to just top off the airgun (that way minimal air is used from tank #2, which becomes the higher pressure tank). [links]

[yrrryyoderj]

So, when tank #1 is below 3000 PSI (or whatever is your max fill pressure), use it to bulk fill your rifle from 1600, 1800, or 2000 PSI (or whatever pressure you start to refill your airgun) all the way up to whatever pressure remains in tank 1. Then only use tank 2 to "top it off" to your correct fill pressure. For each fill, use tank #1 to get as much air in it before you switch to tank two. Eventually you'll get to the point that tank #1 is so low and you'll just use tank #2. But you've drained tank #1 WAY lower than you could if it were part of a single 88 Cu Ft tank. [links]

Just a note to say how pleased I am with the NOS 66Cf tank and hose assembly I got from you last fall. Everything was just as you said it would be. I was really impressed with the packaging to protect the tank from transit damage. Now that you offer microbore hoses, it's really a smokin' deal. I recommend you to anyone I hear of needing a tank.

I've purchased a complete SCBA charging assembly as well as various adapters and fittings from Joe Brancato. His prices are competitive and his products are of the highest quality and easiest to use available. I like having the hand tight fittings because I don't have to carry wrenches around. You know you're in the safe-zone when he sets you up. Above all, Joe has gone out of his way to assist me in hydrostatic of my own personal cylinder. You couldn't ask for a better guy than that!" Brandon R.

[BitSports]

I just wanted to let you know that the MicroBore hose I recently obtained from you works perfectly, hooked up easily and the 3' length is so much more convenient that my original short, very stiff hose. Kudos on a great product and your fast service! Gerry C. [links]

[walidzohair]

By the way, notice our hose assemblies have a STAINLESS STEEL HANDTIGHT fitting. This makes it easy to switch between tanks without tools. more
