Help me ID this cylinder - Please!

Can you help me determine the capacity and buoyancy - full and empty; dimensions of this cylinder?

DOT-3AA 2400-91/9008/162 M8303 Faber Italy 03A91+

It would probably be best if you gave us the diameter (or circumference, we can figure out the diameter from that ) and height. Weight would be good too, but not necessary.

If it's a Faber 80

Faber has made 9 tanks with both a 3AA certification and a 2400 psi service rating, so dimensions would help.

First my thanks for your speedy reply to my question. These are used tanks that i am thinking about purchasing so i don't have access to make accurate measurements. Here is what I have - they are 8" D and with boot & valve measure 27" H. I hope this is enough to make an educated guess. Once again thank you for your help.

I'm guessing that it's the Faber 95 that I quoted in my first post

Service pressure, psi
2400 +10%

Actual air capacity, cu. Ft. (at +10%)
95

Outer diameter, in
8

Length without valve, in
23.8

Empty weight, lbs
37.2

Buoyancy Empty, lbs (w/valve)
-1.2

Buoyancy Full, lbs (w/valve)
-8.325

Assuming a 3" long valve, it is most likely a 95.

If so the internal volume will be 915 cubic inches and it will hold 95.1 cu ft of gas at 2640 psi, and 86.5 cu ft at 2400 psi.
