Medical L6X Carbon Composite Type 3 Cylinders

Type 3 cylinders are manufactured by fully wrapping an aluminum cylinder liner with carbon fiber. This provides extra strength and support for the cylinder, allowing it to be filled to higher pressures. Type 3 cylinders have a rounded base, requiring additional support to stand upright.

Our carbon composite gas cylinders initially gained favor with firefighters who use them in self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). These cylinders are now also used by paramedics and other emergency first-responders. For applications where lightweight, high gas capacity and ease of handling are paramount, our L6X composite Type 3 cylinders are available at 300bar working pressure.

Because of their much lighter weight, compact size, higher capacity and excellent portability, Luxfer full-wrap cylinders are popular in emergency and pre-hospital care, as well as for oxygen therapy, in which reduced weight and increased filling capacity provide significant advantages to ambulatory patients.
