O2 Storage tank?????

Hi,

When does a cylinder become a storage cylinder instead of a diving cylinder.

What are the differences with regards to valves, testing regime etc, etc.

Can you get J cylinders from BOC as a regular joe blogs or do you have to be a business. Alternatively, Can you buy a J and just have it O2 cleaned at the LDS.

Sorry for lots of questions but I need to get to the bottom of it before I start buying kit for mixing Nitrox. Any other usefull information will be greatly received.

Regards
Stewybear

Hello mate,
I phoned BoC a week ago, gas prices are cheap but they were charging around £40 delivery charge for 1 cylinder or 10

Hello Chriz

My local place does a J of o2 for £16. Rental is £88 a year (all figures are + VAT) and £12 delivery per cylinder.....

However, it's welding O2. . . . . There's are 1000's of threads on here about that!




ps.......Did you get back from Scapa ok? I assume so......At least we didn't see those poxy motorhomes and that foreign citroen 2CV after Perth!

It falls into the hole where mine left from.

Worry about things that might happen.
Scuba gases are relatively safe. I have explosives. I'll worry about blowing things up.
