I just picked up a Faber(?) steel tank that has beek imported from the UK.
In NZ we require tanks to have a 3rd party inspection done after manufacture. They then stamp the tank with their symbol and Lab #. I assume it is the same for Australian tanks.
We also require burst discs in the valve.
Anyway this tank does not seem to have a lab # or a burst disc.
Maybe someone can decipher a lab number from the following and help me interprate the markings as they are a little diffrent from the norm in NZ
EN144-1 M25x2 (thread type) 10 then a strange symbol FE7313 UT
3.1mm- 5.50 KG (weight) V4.6L (Water content)
TS-50/+65 deg C (temp Service??) PS200 AT15 deg C (pressure service 200bar??)/PT300BAR (Preesure Test??)
Stange sybol 2001/03 (manufacture march 2001?) CE0062
Group 2 BREATHING APPARATUS MINI-BREATHER (then small upside down 31)
Then on the base 3(?) 1 V B 2 3 SP
The vavle is a DIN with a yoke insert. At the very top of the vavle thread is a small hole that is open to where the debri tube should thread into. It has no debri tube.
You help is appreciated. Thanks
