Most water pressure tanks I'm familiar with have an AIR bladder that serves to even water pressure inside the tank. The water is outside that bladder.
I think it's the other way around... the water is contained within the bladder. Flotec

That is not universal and depends on what pump you have.
I think that most are nowhere near that high......but that is mostly a guess based on looking at a few replacements in catalogs.

The air space outside the bladder keeps pressure on the bladder and thus, in your lines. It keeps the pump from turning on-off every time you open a faucet. But, when the pump comes on, it will run longer to fill the pressure tank. But also, you can run water until the pressure drops and the water pump turns on again.Most water pressure tanks I'm familiar with have an AIR bladder that serves to even water pressure inside the tank.
