About 8Ltr Aluminium Cylinder
An 8-liter (8L) aluminium cylinder is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant vessel used for storing pressurized gases. Commonly applied in medical oxygen, scuba diving, and specialty industrial gas storage, it offers superior portability and rust prevention compared to steel alternatives.Key Features & SpecificationsMaterial: Crafted from high-strength aluminium alloys (commonly 6061-T6), which provide excellent durability and resistance to harsh environmental conditions.Working Pressure: Typically operates between 150 kgf/cm to 200 BAR (20 MPa to 20.7 MPa) depending on its intended use.Weight & Dimensions: Because aluminium is lighter than steel, an 8L tank is highly manageable, weighing generally between 1.2 kg to 11 kg (with the heavier weights applying to high-pressure, thick-walled scuba tanks).Gas Capacity: Holds the equivalent of approximately 1100 to 1600 liters of free gas when compressed at standard working pressures.
