Carbon dioxide (CO₂) cartridges have become an essential power source for outdoor equipment, airguns, bicycle tire inflators, and safety devices. Compact, lightweight, and efficient, these small pressurized cylinders offer instant energy where portability and reliability matter most.
At FAIRDALE (CHANGZHOU) METAL TOOLS CO., LTD, we manufacture a complete range of CO₂ cartridges designed to meet the highest international standards — ensuring consistency,
precision, and safety across every application.
CO₂ cartridges are small, sealed metal cylinders filled with compressed carbon dioxide gas. They are commonly used as a portable and convenient source of power for various applications such as airguns, soda makers, tire inflators, paintball guns, and life jackets. When the cartridge is punctured, the CO₂ is released as pressurized gas, providing instant energy or inflation. Typically made of steel, CO₂ cartridges come in different sizes — the most popular being the 12g version — and are designed for single use to ensure consistent performance and safety.
| Size (grams) | Typical Use | Pressure (PSI) | Thread Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8g | Airsoft, soda makers | 800 | Non-threaded |
| 12g | Airguns, paintball | 800–900 | Non-threaded |
| 16g | Bicycles, camping gear | 850 | Threaded |
| 25g | Road and mountain bikes | 850 | Threaded |
| 33g | Life jackets, safety inflators | 850–900 | Threaded |
For decades, the 12g CO₂ cartridge has been the standard power source for airguns and BB guns. Its compact design allows shooters to carry multiple cartridges into the field, ensuring long-lasting performance and consistent pressure.
Steady pressure output: CO₂ maintains near-constant firing power until the cartridge empties.
Silent operation: Ideal for target shooting and small game hunting.
Easy replacement: Quick reload between shots without heavy air tanks.
Always check for leaks after inserting a new cartridge.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or high temperatures.
Use manufacturer-recommended cartridge sizes only.
Cyclists rely on CO₂ cartridges for quick and effortless tire inflation during long rides, especially when speed and convenience are essential. These compact cartridges, typically available in 16g or 25g sizes, can refill a completely flat tire in just a few seconds, saving riders from the hassle of manual pumping. Whether tackling rough mountain trails or cruising on smooth city roads, CO₂ cartridges are a must-have accessory that fits easily into a saddle bag or pocket. Their reliability and portability make them an indispensable tool for both professional cyclists and weekend riders, ensuring that a flat tire never ruins a great ride.
Compact and lightweight for easy storage.
Faster inflation speed during emergencies.
Consistent air pressure without manual effort.
| Cartridge Size | Tire Type | Inflation Time | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16g | Road bike | 3–5 seconds | Lightweight option |
| 25g | Mountain bike | 5–8 seconds | Higher volume tires |
Match cartridge size to tire volume.
Choose threaded types for compatibility with most inflators.
Store cartridges in a cool, dry pouch to prevent corrosion.
CO₂ cartridges also serve critical safety functions in life jackets, personal flotation devices (PFDs), and emergency inflators. The 33g cartridge is the most common choice for automatic or manual inflation systems.
Provides instant inflation in emergencies.
Compatible with standard PFD inflators.
Reliable even in cold or wet conditions.
Inflating camping mats or portable air pillows.
Powering compact stoves and coolers.
Emergency signal devices requiring compressed gas.
FAIRDALE manufactures CO₂ cartridges from high-grade carbon steel, precisely formed and sealed to contain pressurized gas at up to 900 PSI.The metal is shaped into small cylinders, cleaned, and sealed at one end. Liquid carbon dioxide is then filled under high pressure, and the other end is capped with a puncturable seal. Each cartridge is tested for pressure and leaks to ensure safety and reliability before packaging.
Raw Material Preparation: Cold-rolled steel is shaped into seamless cylinders.
Gas Filling and Sealing: Each cartridge is filled with pure, dry CO₂ gas and sealed.
Pressure Testing: Every batch undergoes burst and leak testing.
Surface Treatment: Zinc or nickel plating prevents corrosion.
Material Strength: Thick-walled, seamless steel for safety.
Thread Type: Choose compatible threads (e.g., 3/8"-24UNF, M10x1).
Certification: Look for CE and ISO9001 standards.
Gas Purity: Ensures clean operation for sensitive equipment.
Visible rust or dents on cartridges.
Unlabeled or uncertified suppliers.
Cartridges that vary in weight or pressure output.
