I am trying to do the math on the following problem and I need some help.
I want to use a 88gram C02 cartridge (Cartridge does not say how much air is in it?) and want to flow 45psi of air out of it with a regulator. How can I figure out how long the cartridge will run for??
Does this make sense??

till it runs out of air.....:D :D sorry I had too....

I just dont want to waste my time building somthing if it lasts 10 seconds..
what other info do I need to figure this out?
-
You need more information I think, such as volume and perhaps the pressure inside the cartridge. :idea:

Yeah, what he said. Volume and pressure would help you answer your question. Think of an air compressor tank, big dif between 40 psi and 110 psi.
I think you are going to need to just do a dry run, unless you can call the manufacture and ask an engineer there.
Just my .02

What the hell does the 88 gram stand for??
-
I say it depends on the volumn of the cartride and the discharge rate. It lasts as long as it lasts. Kinda like sex.

if you can regulate the flow of air then you can control how long it will take

use this forumla
pV=nRT That will give you the volume of CO2 at 45 psi at a given temp...
p= presure, V= volume, n = number of moles( number of moleclues divide by avogadro's number) R = the constant of proportionality(8.314 472 J mol-1 K-1 )
take the volume you get and divide by the cfm you need and you will get you and approx run time

continuous or short bursts? and how long each burst? regardlss, the co2 canister mfg will be able to answer that question with ease...
