I made an adapter to fit in the end of the spring with an oring. Used a bottle
with over 1500lbs. 38lbs was measured on a bathroom scale pushing the spring
down
on it. 60lbs after filling.
If you check into adjustable ones they are filled to a max pressure and then you
let out the amount of pressure to meet your strength requirements.
The basic formula for the strength is psi times area of piston in sq inches.
There
are some other variables but they don't make enough difference to matter here.
So the piston is around .05sq in times 1400 equals 70lbs. I didn't have the
ability to measure the pressure exactly so it could have been more like 1300psi.

1400psi which came out to about 60lbs. They feel a little stiff but I have
not felt a new one in a long time. 50lbs may be OK but at 60 it work fine.
