You did read that those QEV's are for low pressure? I couldn't find what the max pressure was, (i only looked on the provided page), but up top the "you are here" tag line says for low pressure.

Low pressure means about 10 bar

...and we all know that they have to be used at their rated pressure :D

Yes... rated pressures are important. Which is why people use plastic bottles for 160 psi.

Of course, some things have ratings so extreme that no-one in their right mind could get anywhere near them.

Who wants to try overcharging a 200 bar rated metal pressure tank?
