Does anybody have a pressure test rig/pot or just a modified Corny keg anywhere in San Francisco Bay Area I could use to test my newly built canister light? I'll provide beer/cake/whatever... Or else I can payback with any computer-related service...

I've got a spray paint tank I've used. It's in Morgan Hill.

Thanks, Chuck! It's a bit far form me, but I might use your offer...

Spray paint tank??? Would it hold 70-80 PSI? Would it fit a canister light?

Thanks again.

So I brew beer, and have 5 gallon pony kegs. I also have a CO2 system granted ive not checked to see the max pressure of my regulator. The keg will hold 120 PSI, just dont know what the reg can deliver. Ill get back to you.

Can you get a canister light into a pony keg?

I'll check on the pressure rating of the paint tank when I get home
tomorrow. I'll get the dimensions but I'm pretty sure a canister light would
fit.

Well I know that my Salvo would fit, but if this is the wider version then probably not.

As far as the reg it maxes out at 60 PSI.

You can make one out of 4" ABS pipe, a domed end cap (not flat) and a threaded clean-out fitting and cap. I've run mine up to 120 psi, you just need to grease the threads with wax to get it to seal. Tap a 1/4 NPT hole through the doubled walled section were the threaded fitting meets the pipe. Give it a day for the cement to dry and make sure to fill it with water for the first (no test article) pressure test so there is less stored energy. Don't get to near it while under full pressure as you are in the safety factor of the pipe at that pressure.

My old paint tank lives behind my boat, and I forgot to measure it while the
boat was out last weekend. I measured it today. 9" ID. 10" minimum
height, a bit more in the center. 60 PSI (133' FSW) max.
