Type 1
Type 1 gas cylinders are usually manufactured from steel or aluminum. They are the lowest cost and heaviest cylinder type. This makes them most suitable for static applications and high-volume industrial use.
Applications:
- Industrial/Manufacturing
- SCBA
- Medical breathing at medical facilities (Oxygen Tanks)
- Compressed Natural Gas Storage and Transportation
Type 2
Type 2 gas cylinders are made from aluminum, hoop-wrapped with carbon fiber. They are significantly lighter than Type 1 cylinders, but still significantly heavier than Type 3 carbon composite cylinders. Type 2 cylinders are suitable for hydrogen and CNG ground storage as well as transport.
Applications:
- Industrial/Manufacturing
- Medical breathing at medical facilities (Oxygen Tanks)
- Compressed Natural Gas Storage and Transportation
Type 3
Type 3 gas cylinders feature a thin and lightweight aluminum liner, fully overwrapped with carbon composite. This cylinders offer significant weight savings over Type 2 cylinders (up to 30%). They can also be filled to higher pressures (up to 300 bar), so they can offer increased capacity for the same size cylinder. Type 3 lightweight gas cylinders are ideal for applications where portability and capacity are important such as for home oxygen therapy and for medical oxygen cylinders in ambulances.
Applications:
- Aerospace and Military
- Compressed Natural Gas Storage and Transportation
- SCBA
