I have a pair of Faber tanks. 2400psi REE 70.

I'll post dimensions when I get home. Should be around 7" diameter

LP85?

Post the height from the floor to the top of the tank neck (top of tank without valve). Faber LP85 will be 26in tall. LP80 is 24in tall. The OMS LP66 will be like 21in tall. Height, Diameter, and rated pressure are the three most useful values for tank selection.

I'm not sure you can convert REE to tank size/type, but I can check my LP85s when I get home for their REE value.

I could be wrong, but I think Fabers also usually have their rated fill volumes marked on them somewhere.
 
Wouldn't all faber LP85 tanks have the same REE value? I doubt they calculate it per tank

Well, my LP85s are marked REE67.

Regardless of whether or not all Faber LP85s would have the same REE value (something I'm not sure of), I'm not aware of a chart/table that has REEs listed for each different tank that you could look it up of of.
 
I have email Faber several times asking for REE numbers for cylinders and they have always email me back with the information I needed. You need to send them all the information stamped on the cylinder, including the serial number.
Their email reply will give you a manufacturer's written confirmation of the REE number that any hydro station should accept without questions.

Most of the times Faber answered my email within a day or so. Only once, I felt like emailing them a second time. My email might have gotten lost.
 
Approx 7" diameter and 26" tall.

So pretty sure LP85.

Interesting that the REE numbers vary. Wonder how they determine them. Perhaps by production run?
