tank

my son has decided to take the plunge and I am extremely excited he will be joining an OW class in July. He is roughly 100 lbs so not the biggest of kids for his age as he is 14. I do not want him to get stuck with an AL80 for the class and because I plan on taking him diving with me whenever...

Hello, I have a pair of double PST HP100s that I'd like to break up for sidemount, but I need the caps for the manifold. If anyone has a pair to sell or a lead as to where I can find them, it would be much appreciated. A photo of the manifold is below. Thanks!

Hi all! I have a paramina typhoon compressor with 3 filling hoses. The way that i have been filling until now was to let the tanks fill up to the compressor limit, then the compressor stops, the tanks cool, the compressor then tops them up a bit etc etc. The other day my instructor informed me...

Hi all dear advanced divers There is very simple question about cylinder volume and it is : what is the volume of 10 liter cylinder in 200 bar ? Air volume = cylinder volume + pressure = 200 * 10 = 2000 liter But in next they say what is the air volume of 10 liter cylinder in 300 bar and 400...

I have two single X8-130 Steel tanks for sale. Last hydro was 3/11 (so due now) and last visual was 4/12. They have been sitting in my dry basement full of 28% since July of 2012 or so. I'm moving and won't be diving, so they need to go. Complete with DIN valves. Located in Edgewater, MD...

I have two questions about tanks: 1) Someone told me, it is not good to store cylinders fully pressurized for prolonged periods, as afterwards they may fail to pass the hydrostatic tests. Is that true? How serious? What would be then an acceptable pressure? 2) Why was I taught in the courses...

I'm sure this must have been covered before but I can't find it. What holds more air, a 10 litre 300 bar or a 12 litre 232 bar? Currently have a 15 litre 232 and it's killing me! Too heavy and not enough air left for a second dive so it gets wasted. Oh, and I'm not the tallest of people. Most...
