Technically, I would be comfortable with using 90% of the one from PST too, but I don't think it is legal for other brands. The REEs for industrial tanks in CGA-5 are based on worst case from all of the manufacturers, not just one. Unfortunately, they don't list a "generic" SCUBA 72.

When it comes to regulations, "Safe" and "Legal" don't mean the same thing.:shakehead:

Though since as I understand it they were all made to the same specification, I would be comfortable using the one steel 72 REE we do have, from PST, for any 72, especially if a tank passed with a reasonable margin.

If you look at the list of REEs for industrial tanks in CGA-5 you will notice that they just list various size and pressures of cylinders and give the REEs, with little differentiating for the various manufacturers or years of manufacture.
