Resources and regulations

In 2008 Luxfer Gas Cylinders designed and manufactured the first cylinders under the brand LCX-EL® with an increase in service life from fifteen years to thirty years in the USA under the DOT Special Permit SP14232. This permit requires that a number of the cylinders are withdrawn from service for testing. The qualification program mandated by the US DOT under Special Permit 14232 requires that a sample of 30 cylinders from the first year of manufacture of each cylinder size be collected from the field and tested at 10 years of service. Then a second sample of 30 cylinders from the first year of manufacture is also collected and tested at 15 years of service. Upon successful completion of the mandated tests at both ten and fifteen years of service, all cylinders of that design can continue as normal in the field beyond the standard life of 15 years to a maximum of 30 years.​ Please contact Luxfer Gas Cylinders Customer service at 800 764 0366 and we will advise if you need to return the cylinders (and how) or if you can carry on using them as normal.
