12g CO2 Cartridge for OEM Device and Sample Matching
Overview
The 12g CO2 cartridge is a familiar format for airguns and selected compact devices, but the 12g marking describes nominal fill rather than universal compatibility. Buyers should confirm the approved drawing or reference sample, outside dimensions, neck or thread, sealing face, puncture geometry, gas grade, finish, packaging and intended device before commercial approval.
PopularGas supports model-specific OEM review. Performance, pressure, shot count, leakage and storage life depend on the cartridge specification, device and test conditions and are not universal claims.
Key Features
- Drawing or sample match: approve the installed envelope, sealing face and puncture geometry.
- Interface options: confirm non-threaded or 3/8-24 UNF variant against the intended device.
- Gas-grade definition: state industrial or application-specific gas requirements in the purchase specification.
- Controlled inspection: define fill tolerance, leakage method, sampling plan and acceptance criteria.
- OEM review: finish, marking and packaging are confirmed after safety-critical geometry is approved.
Applications
BB guns and CO2 air pistols
Competitive airgun shooting
Airsoft rifles and pistols
Tactical training equipment
Recreational shooting
Commercial shooting ranges
Police and military training aids
CO2-powered paintball accessories
OEM Customization Options
Available OEM options may include finish, marking, branding and retail or bulk packaging. Fill, dimensions, neck or thread, sealing and puncture geometry are safety-critical and must be approved by drawing and sample validation. Feasibility, MOQ and production timing are confirmed for the actual program.

Frequently Asked Questions.
No. Confirm outside dimensions, neck or thread, sealing face, puncture geometry and a functional sample in the intended device.
CO2 vapour pressure is strongly temperature-dependent. Cartridge test pressure, burst criteria and device operating pressure are different values and must be reviewed in the approved product and device specifications.
