What does continued in the next post mean when my text was truncated to omit some detail?

NOT so: OLD steel and aluminum SCUBA tanks [DOT 3A and 3AA and 3AL] DO NOT have a "shelf life" that is only applicable to this: CFR 49/180.205 (v) For a DOT 3HT cylinder - (A) The pressure test yields an elastic expansion exceeding the marked rejection elastic expansion (REE) value. (B) The...

Looks like the RIN shop misread the text and condemned the cylinder.... notice all the XXX reference in (e) which is used to indicate a variable in the string which may appear on the cylinder. Looks like the facility owes a replacement if it was not actually condemed. Here is the...

There are some people making this so hard, when it is not. Unless the LDS has a "RIN" facility doing the visuals it can't do squat. PCI is nothing more than a training agency which took the CGA recommendation regarding cylinder visual inspections to the DOT, and adopted them as their own. There...

Dude... You are going to have to do your own leg work, all of the reference material related to all the subject is foot noted, so go find it. I did that once upon a time, that is why I know what I know. Ya lookin' for a easy button? USC means United States Code... that is the "law book" CGA is...

Try this out and enjoy. It gives CFR and CGA reference so you can find out all you wanted to about cylinder inspection and testing. http://www.igaroc.org.tw/Data/DOT training & certification.pdf This is referenced summary of the process in people language. Testing and inspection of diving...

I had 3 E6498 cylinders eddy tested, hydro'ed and re-certified as 3AL. the stamped it just above E-6498 marking. They did not alter or obliterate the original markings in any way... They are NOT to this unless the cylinders fails a mandated test.

I don't know why this is so confusing. The LDS can't do squat to your cylinder other than decide to put a tumble on it to clarify the inspection. If the inspector determines that the cylinder is a fail on VIS they can mark it any way they want... Crayon, marker, tag on the valve, slap a fail...

Your neighbor could do that as a joke. Who is to say who wrote what and whether this is any suspicion of or indication of the cylinder being serviceable just because "they" wrote on the outside. That is why there is a lawful regulation on the books with clear and predetermined outcome.

I admire the tenacity of the op for trying to put together a list, any list, from all the manufacture data. No matter how much work you put into it... It will be a life long adventure because manufacturers up the specs more often than I change my underwear. I have a pair of bothers on a...

Using a small on screen keyboard at the time... easier for me to see for I am no touch typist.

JUST ONE MORE REASON TO SIMPLY BYPASS THE SHOP AND GO DIRECTLY TO THE HYDRO FACILITY. THEY WILL VIS THE CYLINDER BEFORE TESTING AND IF THERE IS A PROBLEM THEY WILL NOT TEST THE TANK AND CALL YOU. THAT IS WHY I HAVE MY OWN COMPRESSOR AND TUMBLER, DO MY OWN VALVE AND CYLINDER MAINTENANCE. I USE...

MY SP belt has large flaps with velcro... did not know they made one with zippers. Zippers buildup calcium and salt and stick... WTH.

That is two different divers.

I'm solo and mobile. if anyone needs a body to fill out a boat or a companion diver, let me know. I always like to know who I might be diving with and expect others do too, so the PDF has my "stuff". :thumb:

09/21/2019 - 09/28/2019 Coral Princess Golf and Dive Resort. Always Aldora, but maybe some with Liquid Blue and only then because they also offer high cap steel. would consider another under those conditions and pricing.... Boats have to good though.... with gear storage and cleaning facility.

Have a problem with that attitude.... Employees knowing if they are being "cheated"??? I always knew what I made and I knew what others made doing similar work under similar circumstances... So I never knew or for that much cared for knowing the essential profitability of those I worked for...

I only tip the people who actually run around helping me. Such as baggage handlers, waiters, crew on the boat or in the water, take out ain't it.
