Aluminum Cylinder
Aluminum oxygen cylinders are widely used in medical and aviation applications due to their lightweight construction, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Manufactured primarily from high-strength aluminum alloys, these cylinders are designed to safely store and transport oxygen under pressure.
Key Features:
-
Lightweight Design: Aluminum cylinders are significantly lighter than their steel counterparts, facilitating easier handling and transport.
-
Durability: Constructed to withstand rigorous conditions, aluminum cylinders are known for their longevity and reliability.
-
Corrosion Resistance: The aluminum material offers excellent resistance to corrosion, ensuring the integrity of the cylinder over time.
-
Variety of Sizes: Available in multiple sizes to accommodate different oxygen storage needs, including models like M4 (AL-113), M6 (AL-180), M9 (AL-248), MD (AL-415), M22 (AL-647), and ME (AL-682).
-
Compatibility: Designed to fit standard valve fittings, ensuring seamless integration with various oxygen delivery systems.
Specifications:
-
Material: High-strength aluminum alloy (e.g., Aluminum 6061 T6).
-
Dimensions and Capacity: Specifications vary by model; for example, the E Cylinder (AL-248) has a capacity of 680 liters.
-
Pressure Rating: Typically rated for pressures up to 2,000 psi, depending on the model.
Maintenance and Safety:
-
Hydrostatic Testing: Aluminum cylinders require hydrostatic testing every five years from the date of manufacture to ensure structural integrity.
-
Inspection: Regular visual inspections are recommended to check for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
-
Storage: Store cylinders in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
Applications:
