I was given 2 Survivair bottles

[Knavey]

stamped

TC-3ALM-2 07

DOT-3AL 3000 LT 2505 LUXFER 11A93

Can anyone tell me if these would be useful for scuba use (pony bottles) or if they are just junk?

I was on the Luxfer website but did not find any info on them.

Thanks,

I am assuming these are SCBA units. I have toyed with this idea. SCBA to scuba addapror would be required.

You could probably find an scba to O2 addaptor and use them as Oxyen tanks on dry land.

I thought 25XX alloy was not good for scuba tanks?

just a thought, can't remember...

Yup,

The company I work for decided to do away with the SCBA stuff on site so they didn't have to pay for training and upkeep. I got a couple of the bottles, but really not sure what to do with them...paintball maybe. Or scuba if I can find any real info on them. Drew a blank on the Luxfercylinders site. None of the codes stamped matched stuff on thier site.

How can you tell its 25XX?

I'm sorry, not 25XX I think those are 6061, which is cool

 

[FIXXERVI6]

just a guess, found stuff similar on the web.

and luxfer makes all of those al scba tanks out of 6061 now.

Is there a way to know exactly which tank it is on the Luxfer site based on the numbers that were stamped on the tank that I posted above?
