Scuba tank explosion - man loses hand

[Andy077]

To some extent it makes sense to test/inspect O2 tanks less than scuba tanks as they are generally lower pressure tanks in the 2000-2200 psi range and due to the nature of their use they are not as likely to be exposed to water in amanner that might result in moisture inside the tank. The same argument can be made for CO2 tanks.

well, one thing, fire service SCBA are generally 4500 psi now, have been for years, the fiber wrapped Al cylinders we use have a 3 year hydro test cycle and a 15 year max lifespan.
as for exposure to water, ever been to a fire? hot steam and water, and worse everywhere.
