air bottle leaking very slowly is this normal?

Fair enough.... should have been clearer or just not posted up

So, having read my explanation of a burst disc, can you see how a thin piece of metal holding back X000 psi, cant "go" a bit...think balloon with hole in (ignoring the trick with the sellotape).

That works for me when I dont know what I am on about.

I just want to clear some things up so I will be better informed in the future.
Is it only mineral oils that will cause a reaction with HP air?

AFAIK, mineral oil is a no no. Because it is based on a combustible material. All oils are extracted from crude oil, petrol, diesel, kerosene etc..all come from the same place via fractional distillation...(they heat the oil up at the bottom and as it rises and cools at different rates, different substances are filtered off).

When you fire air into the bottle, it mixes with the oil, but also, friction is generated...you can feel its warm on the outside of the reg, so you can imagine how warm it is in the tiny hole inside.

Someone with lots of Physics knowledge, I think corrected me as to how the oil/air mix is ignited, I think...but, heat fuel and oxygen = flame...nuff said.

Silicon is not a combustible material in that way, so...wont go bang.

If you can get over to me i can sort it for you.

The school has changed a bit since you went there then, because I learnt that a couple of weeks ago in chemistry

Like Camdenelectric you tend to pick up info as you go along to be come more knowledgeable... sometimes people say "do it this way" which is correct but they don't tell you the reason "Why" it has to been done

Well done Skeet like the explanations i have now gained a level...
