I've looked through the archives and haven't found what I am looking for. I have come across a cylinder and can't quite decifer all its markings.

Neck info:

DIVE TEAM M25 X 2 - ISO
BS 5045/3/C TP 300 BAR (Circled #1) /2001 (symbol, B with I through it) 815-
CP 200 BAR TARE 2.11 KG WC 1.5L


There is another number opposite these: AA375975

There is an updated hydro stamp: 2003 (funky symbol) 04V

Around the base:

(Symbol, double arrow like Luxfer) 7010024 A102M68 DGT E


So far it appears this is a 6061 cylinder with M25x2 threads & a 200 bar service pressure / 300 bar test pressure. It was originally put in service January of 2001 & tested again April of 2003. It has a water capacity of 1.5 litres. It will provide around 10cu.ft. at its service pressure. I believe the AA375975 number to be its serial number.

Any ideas on locating the rest of the info? Comments on my current conclusions?
 
"Tare" is net weight which is 2.11 kg. BS 5045 iis the British Standard for seamless high pressure cylinders. The AA number is a serial number. "AA" means "aluminum alloy". ISO identifies the International Standards Organization.
