Marine Specialty Gas Cylinders and Gas Systems typically feature the following key specifications and technical properties:
Size: Available in various capacities, commonly ranging from 2 liters to 50 liters, with larger systems for industrial applications.
Grade: High-purity gas compatibility (e.g., industrial, medical, or specialty gases like argon, helium, oxygen, or mixed gases).
Viscosity: Not directly applicable to cylinders, but gas flow rates are optimized for marine conditions.
Buoyancy: Designed with neutral or positive buoyancy to prevent sinking; materials and structural design enhance flotation.
Material: Constructed from high-strength materials such as aluminum alloy (AA6061), stainless steel (316L), or composite materials (carbon fiber).
Pressure Rating: Typically rated for 200-300 bar (2900-4350 psi), with some high-pressure systems exceeding 450 bar.
Corrosion Resistance: Marine-grade coatings, anodized finishes, or stainless steel construction to withstand saltwater exposure.
Valve Type: Brass or stainless steel valves with CGA, DIN, or other standardized fittings for secure connections.
Regulatory Compliance: Meets standards such as DOT, ISO, EN, or IMO regulations for marine safety.
Weight: Varies by size and material; aluminum cylinders are lighter (~10-20 kg for 10L), while steel is heavier (~15-30 kg for 10L).
Temperature Range: Operates in -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to +140°F) to endure marine environments.
Safety Features: Includes burst discs, pressure relief valves, and impact-resistant designs for hazardous conditions.
