argon gas boc

hi has any one checked a bottle with a gauge before they bought it,the last bottle i picked up from boc should of had 230 bar at 18 deg,when i got back and put my gauge on it there was only 180 bar tryed a second gauge same reading,do you think boc would let me try a gauge on the bottle fist lol,if i said to the milkman i want to buy a bottle of milk and he gave me half a bottle,you wouldnt ecept it would you,so how can a big company like boc get away with this,need to pick up a bottle,i will take my gauge and see how i get on, as any one else had this problem,cheers tom

I would certainly be mentioning what appears to be a shortfall, although am sure I have read somewhere here there is a reason why this can happen...cant for the life of me remember what it was though.

nothing stopping you from putting a reg on the bottle when you pick it up before it goes into the van

Tommy, did you contact them when you found out?

That's what they're there for, they have good support and that's what you pay for
