: The best vessels are small SCUBA aluminum tanks that have 3/4" NPT ports and are rated at 3000 psi.
Do you have a recommended source for these?
BTW: I'm currently leaning on the following... I've got a 4"x24" (roughly) medical O2 tank at home that has been sitting around waiting for a use (any use!) for 15 years. I'm probably going to cut the top off, cut the bottom off, and then have the two welded together. At the same time I'll turn out the neck boss to accept a 1" pipe nipple that will be welded in place as well.
Voila, I should have a compact (6" longish) large port vessel good to 125 psi for very minimal cost (I need about $15 worth of fittings and I think I can ask a favor of a welder I know...)
