Air bottle- Im a little confused

[sanguinius]

I have just got my air bottle and it has loads of information on it but I dont understand what any of it says. This is all that is written in it:

4500psi
UNF625 HSE-Al-FW2 USA SCI ALT 756-724
1.0kg 1.1L 310 bar PH 465 bar
AA6061 02/2002 FIN 2017/01

There is a test sticker which says

Date of test 05/10/06 - 756-724

Basically, what I would like to know is when it needs to be tested next, and I have found a scuba shop that does air fills up to 300 bar, is that ok? Thanks!

Means it is a 1.1L (68cu) bottle, capable of being filled to 4500psi.

It was born in February 2002 and was tested in October of 2006, which (I think) means it is next due for a test in October of 2011.

Thanks lemonadeX. What about the 300 bar fill? does anyone know about that?

your bottle will be fine holding that pressure,,not sure if 300bar is 3000psi or 4500psi ( abouts ) but it will hold them both

I have just got my air bottle and it has loads of information on it but I dont understand what any of it says. This is all that is written in it:

4500psi - maximum recomended fill, pounds per square inch
UNF625 HSE-Al-FW2 - possibly "ingredients" of the tank
USA - country made
SCI ALT 756-724 - not a clue
1.0kg - weight
1.1L - size
310 bar PH 465 bar - sumin to do with pressure
AA6061
02/2002 - Born Feb 2002
FIN 2017/01 - Can't be used after that date

There is a test sticker which says

Date of test 05/10/06 - 756-724 - so next test will be in 5 years

Basically, what I would like to know is when it needs to be tested next, and I have found a scuba shop that does air fills up to 300 bar, is that ok? Thanks!

The scuba shop will need to fill a dive tank - then use a different adaptor to fill your tank from the dive tank, as their machines don't have the right fittings (i think)

300 bar is 4500 psi
200 bar is 3000psi
