    Default Tank Specifications

    Would someone email me or post a site with current specifications on dive tanks. The NSS sites are not current and non working.

    Thanks

    Check TDL (Tech Diving Limited). Joel has one of the most complete and current lists on his web site that I have seen anywhere.

    TDL has a great tank specification page (noted above).

    Here's another tank specification link:

    Chip the site you posted was the closest I could get to identifying this tank. Maybe some out there can help.

    Looking at the lay out you posted I see a tank that closely matches it but not quite. The tank weighs 261/2 pounds, I get 6 inches diameter. I measure 19 inches completely around it. What I copied off the tank is what I think is on it.
    Sorry I forgot to put that it is 25 inches long and a steel tank

    DOT indicates that it is approved for use in the US by the Dept. of Trans; 3AA indicates that is a steel cylinder made from a chrome-molly alloy; 3000 is the working pressure in PSI; 88/9002/1004 is the serial number for that cylinder; M8308 is the code for Faber (they don't always have the manufacturer's name stamped like this one does, but they will always have the manufacturer's code); the last part shows that it was hydroed in Jan 1988 and was certified for a 10% overfill.

    I found this on the Faber site:
    Water
    Capacity 464 550
    (cu.in.)

    External
    Diameter 6 6
    (in.)

    Length 22.05 25.39
    (in.)

    Work
    Pressure 3000 3000
    (psi)

    Weight
    Empity 23 26
    (lbs)

    Regulation DOT DOT

    Comments
    464 6 22.05 3000 23 DOT 3AA
    550 6 25.39 3000 26 DOT 3AA
    -All dimensions, weights and water capacity are nominal
    -Actual values can differ from nominal
    (if anyone is better at setting up tables here have at it!)

    Sounds like it is the 550cu in

    That sounds like a 9 liter Faber, that had a DOT approval.

    Specs: 9 liter, 152 mm dia., 207 bar, 11.8 Kg.

    Did you weight it without the valve?
