Pressure Washer Pump used to pressurize pressure vessel?

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking advice on using a pressure washer pump to pressurize water in a small pressure vessel up to 1500 psi for 5 to 10 minutes. They provided links to two specific pressure washer models for consideration. One response suggested using a gas cylinder with a pressure regulator instead, but the user clarified that they require pressurized water without trapped air. The discussion centers on the feasibility of pressure washer pumps for this specific application. The conversation highlights the need for a suitable solution to maintain the desired pressure effectively.

Hi, I am working on a project that requires me to pressurize water in a small pressure vessel up to a pressure of 1500 psi. I am searching for a pump to do this. Do you guys think a pressure washer pump such as this one:
http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/4/Auto/CarWashingCleaning/PressureWashersElectric/PRD~0398557P/Simoniz+2000+PSI+Electric+Pressure+Washer.jsp?locale=en

or this one:
http://www.princessauto.com/pal/product/8149650/Pumps-%26-Unloaders/3.5-GPM-@-2,000-PSI-Pump-Assembly

will be able to accomplish the task and hold pressure constant at 1500 psi for 5 or 10 minutes?

Thoughts anyone?

Thanks,
Josh

If you only need to ho;d pressure for a short time and don't have to repeat the operation too often have you thought about a gas (nitrogen) cylinder and a pressure regulator?
 
Hi thanks for your response. It has to be pressurized water in the tank (ideally with no air trapped inside)
 

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
