sorry to make annother what tank is this post

[maderadiver]

I am getting mixed info on some tanks i bought some say there lp 95s someone told me it was a lp 70 whch i have never seen on any list there faber tanks and the markings are


M8303. 02/1321/ 051 TC-3AAN-184/DOT-3AA REE 70. SCC/85

Is there someway to measure and calculate what they are I'm so confused


I took the boot off and mesured that at 7 1/4-1/2 but I'm not sure how to mesure the length


Is it to the top of the neck or just the shoulder


If it top of neck its around 27 - 27 1/2

Top of shoulder mor like 26

LP95s are 8" diameter tanks, so that's not what you have. Also, the REE number for LP95s is higher, I believe. I have seen a faber LP tank that's 7.25" and a couple of inches shorter than an AL80 that turned out to be an 80cft tank and I never saw it listed on faber's site, but it did exist, I dove with it and figured out the capacity to be 80 cft. An easy way to do this is to fill the tank with water, measure the volume of the water, and do the math.

Your's seems pretty tall, I think the length is typically measure to the top of the neck.

Those are the only markings? Can you provide a picture?

From the size it sounds close to an 85, also the extra designator, SCC/85 is in the same spot the S/xx designator is used which would show it was for scuba service and the size. Since it was not used on older tanks I'm not familiar with this designator, but I have seen it on some newer tanks.

The other markings are the new hydro date and the it also says Faber and. Made. In Italy


The original hydro date is 2006 so i don't know if that's " new " enough to have newer style markings


One other thing all the other hydros are punched through the enamel these guys chiseled out a square of enamel and punched there numbers right on the bare metal is that normal eeems like it would make w enty point for. Rust

My length mesurment may be of as i had the boot off of a full tank and was wrestling with it to keep it upright

But the pressure is stamped as 2400+ for sure so it can't be a 120

Is the fill pressure 3442? It sure does seem like you have Faber FX-120s.

Here is another tank specification site: Scuba Tank Specifications Chart - Freebase

You'll need to re-measure, then. Either the diameter is off (not likely) or the height is off.

Stand the cylinder in a corner and hold it with one hand. Then put your measure device straight up from the floor, and make sure your eyes are level with the top of the neck.

I just mesured again with some help and its 26" without valve

You could lay it on its side and measure how long it is.

Just could not resist.
