Which HPA | PCP seperator for 300 bar compressor? ! WARNING !

Short description:

In this video I discuss the difference between a cheaper HPA Airmega filter (oil/water separator) and the more expensive Tuxing seperator. Both separators are bought from Aliexpress (no seller name is mentioned). Purpose of this video is to make people aware of (possible) dangers of Chinese products.

For both separators, the following is discussed:

- Unboxing: What parts are included?
- Disassembly: What's inside?
- Measure the dimensions: Are they correct?
- Technical: Stress calculation, Is it safe for 300 bar air pressure?
- Conclusion

Feel free to leave a comment if you have a question, notice an error or wrong statement.

WARNING:

Do not save money on safety! The seller on Aliexpress deceived me by sending a filter with different (smaller!) dimensions (wall thickness was 2.6 mm vs. 5.6 mm promised). I do not claim that every Airmega filter is dangerous, but mine is!
