Tallest steel cylinder for twins.

[211ratsbud]

Hey guys what's the tallest common cylinder used in doubles or twins. I would prefer a smaller than 8" Dia tank . Hp preferred ( most likely the case ). I'm 6'6 and would prefer a longer tank.

Faber's current HP120 is pretty long, I believe the longest <8" tank. This list is useful.

hp120's, any of the brands will be the tallest skinny tanks you can find. I prefer PST's, but Fabers are the only ones being produced now.

I see that hp120 vs fx 120 has a significant weight increase. Are the hp's un-desirable vs the fx?

Tbone i see and agree with your preference based on full vs empty and overall mass.

Yet the fx120 seems extremely close to that.

I have two Worthington 120s and two PST 120s.

The nomenclature is a little fuzzy here but the difference is that the FX-120 is a special permit tank made of a high strength alloy, with a thinner wall, therefore lighter. What the table refers to as the "Faber HP120" is not currently in production, but when manufactured was an ordinary 3AA specification tank. The considerable extra weight of the 3AA version is generally considered undesirable.

Worthington and PST tanks in these sizes are hot dip galvanized. Faber tanks are painted over a spray galvanizing. My PST tanks are about a pound lighter in actual empty weight than my Worthington tanks.
