Hi guys,
There was some interest in another thread regarding using some old breathing apparatus cylinders for on-board air storage.
I do have some of these available. The measurements are 400mm long, & 360mm around. (I can hear the tape measures coming out from here.... ;) )
The charging pressure for these things is 200 bar, and they are all currently still showing around the 165 - 170 bar mark. Last test date is January 2000, and this is when they were last filled.
Their original intention was to allow staff to escape a smoke filled room, however that requirement was removed from the standard we operate under.
Now, due to the fact that these are still classed as a pressure vessel, they cant be sent air-freight anywhere.
If you are interstate, and are interested, then maybe the AULRO courier service could be of assistance... :cool:
Now, for those that are wanting to grab one or 2, it will probably be best to get them from my place, up near TTP, after work next week. If I take them home this week, SWMBO will make certain that I get no peace. (We have a 21st this weekend :eek: )
Now, these are strictly on a first come, first served basis, however, I am able to hold them for you. But please don't ask me to hold them for you, if you aren't able to make some arrangements, and someone else misses out.
Now, for the pretty picture:

The fine print:
No warranty, expressed or implied, will be recognised on this item. The user is wholly and totally responsible for the use, and the supplier of this item has no control over its use once it leaves the suppliers possession. Furthermore, it needs to be stated that these are a pressure vessel, and as such are capable of maintaining high pressures within their design limits. Failure to stay within these limits may lead to a catastrophic failure of the container, which may result in serious injury or death, or both. Oh, and you might damage your car too. And then you have to explain THAT to SWMBO, or HWMDAHIT (He Who Must Do As He Is Told). In essence, your on your own. :D
