Air Hose & Valve - Maximum Nominal vs Shock Pressure

[yongjaewon]

Hey guys I'm designing an air cannon robot and I need your help determining what valves and hoses i need to get in terms of maximum pressure. Based on my research, the maximum pressure ratings for hoses and solenoid valves are for constant pressure and even flows, but because I'll be making an air cannon which uses rapid rise in air pressure to shoot objects, I need to get hoses and valves that can withstand the shock pressure. I'll be shooting with around 100psi. Would hoses and valves rated for 200-230 psi be able to withstand the shock pressure? or should I get something rated for 600+psi to be safe? The flow of air is as follows:
High Pressure Air Tank > Regulator > Resorvoir > Solenoid Valve > Air Hose > Barrel
No extreme temperatures.
The hose is rubber.

Thank you in advance.For the air hoses and solenoid valves, I would recommend getting something rated for 600+ psi to be safe, as this will give you plenty of room for any unexpected increases in pressure. When dealing with rapid rise in air pressure, it is better to err on the side of caution and go with a higher pressure rating than necessary. You should also make sure that the regulator is also rated for the same or higher pressure rating as the hoses and valves.
