Size: Typically range from 2L to 50L capacity, with common sizes being 10L and 20L for marine use.
Grade: Medical-grade gases (e.g., oxygen, nitrous oxide) compliant with ISO 15001, ISO 7396-1, and USP standards.
Viscosity: Not applicable to gases; gas flow rates are measured in liters per minute (LPM) with regulators.
Buoyancy: Designed to be neutrally buoyant or slightly negative to prevent floating in water; materials and construction ensure stability.
Material: High-strength aluminum alloy (e.g., AA6061) or stainless steel (e.g., 316L) for corrosion resistance in marine environments.
Pressure Rating: Standard working pressure of 200-300 bar (2900-4350 psi) for medical gas cylinders.
Valve Type: Brass or stainless steel CGA (Compressed Gas Association) valves with dust caps for safety.
Certifications: DOT, TC, CE, or EN standards compliant; marine-specific certifications may include SOLAS or IMO requirements.
Coating: Powder-coated or anodized for additional corrosion protection in saltwater conditions.
Markings: Labeled with gas type, pressure, volume, and safety warnings per international standards.
