ASTM F1750-96

Standard Specification for Paintball Gun Threaded-Propellant Source Interface

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the male and female threaded connectors used to interface a propellant source of 10 342 kPa (1800 psig) or less to a paintball gun.  
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.  
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
