: In my Quest for a High Pressure Cannon Valve I was told by an manufacturing engineer that 300 psi is about as high as one can go and not get leakage past very tight tolerance and very high Quality O ring seals. Bought one to play with for about $40 rated at 275 psi. Worked on single paintballs volume wise.
Are you kidding? Every cheapo paintball gun out there has a valve that operates at 900 psi with no leakage.
And I know at work we have O-ring seals that operate at 8,000 (yes, 8 THOUSAND) psi with no leakage.
Me thinks that you either left out some important verbage/caveat to what he was saying, or that manufacturing engineer needs to get his head out of his ass and just look around. The world is FULL of counter examples to that statement!
