    Red face air cylinders

    Gents i read with great interest: It is my undertanding that air cylinders are not subject to pressure testing as they are under 1/2 litre capacity as already mentioned test pressure are at least 340 bar for a 200 bar fill
    If you have ever charged a cylinder you will know that they get hot this is what is known as parelstatic heating and over a period of time can weaken large cylinders.
    Large cyliders are subject to a 5 year test regardless of materials used for thier construction.
    Steel cylinders have no life span and are good until the test station says othewise
    Composite cylinders must be scrapped at year 15 regardless of condition
    Oh one last thing please remember you get.
    Air in cylinders
    Soldiers in tanks
    Milk in bottles
    Sorry gents!!
