CARBON FIBRE TANKS FOR SCBA
SGA’s composite SCBA cylinders are constructed by wrapping an alloy core with carbon fibre to produce an extremely light weight SCBA cylinder, designed for high pressure filling of compressed air. With a service pressure of 300 bar, these SCBA cylinders hold up to 50% more air than aluminium SCBA cylinders with the equivalent water capacity.
Carbon fibre SCBA cylinders are the most portable SCBA cylinder solution combining a lighter weight cylinder with a higher service pressure to deliver increased breathing time in proportion to the cylinder weight.
Most of our SCBA cylinders have an unlimited design life enabling the owner to keep using them providing they continue to pass routine Hydro’s and inspections.
The cylinder liner is coated with aluminium oxide to protect against moisture and corrosion.
We keep all the SCBA cylinder sizes listed below in stock, ready for immediate purchase.
Green is the most popular SCBA cylinder colour however cylinders can be supplied unpainted or in black.
