O2 Bottle

[mweitz]

I recently purchased a used O2 kit, and am unsure of the bottle size. It is marked as follows:

CTC/DOT-3AL2015D387782LUXFER 05^90

I has a newer Hyrdo, so I'm OK there. Anyone know the size of this bottle?

Thanks,

Mark

Is it about 16.5" high and 4.375" diameter? If so it's 13.7 cf.

This site also lists some specs on 2015 psi Al cylinders from Luxfer.

I'll check when I get home. I have a couple of 13's and it is the same diameter, but a bit taller. The 13's are 3000PSI and the O2 bottle is 2000 PSI.

http://members.aol.com/jsuw3/tankspecs.html lists a 2015 psi Luxfer cylinder that's the same diameter but taller than their 3000 psi 13cf cylinder. That's where I got the 13.7cf from.

Cool, thanks. I bet that is it!

Just make sure not to use this with a bungied wing. If the bungie cord fails, it could detonate your O2 tank...

Thanks Tom.

Do you have any hints on O2 cleaning the plastic tubing and mask?

Yeah, use simple green, then rinse.
