Air tanks legal on both sides of 60 psi regulator
Dear CD,
I was inspecting a team at Centerline and came across a team that had air tanks on both sides of the 60 psi regulator. Questions?
1) Is this configuration legal? I assumed so.
2) The FRC pneumatics manual only shows one tank before the regulator. If the configuration is legal can someone change the manual in the future to show an air tank before and after the 60 psi working regulator to show other inspectors that this is legal?
3) Is the advantage to this tank configuration speed to the pneumatic actuators because the air has already passed through the potentially restrictive regulator? If so, is there a rule of thumb of using tanks before and after the regulator for maximum benefit that anyone knows about?
