🔧 ASSET Cylinder Technical Database – Technician Input

I’m currently putting together a new technical database covering cylinders from different manufacturers, makes, models and sizes.
I’d really like to hear from technicians who may have manufacturer-specific technical information, particularly engineering data such as MDWT (Minimum Design Wall Thickness) and other useful cylinder specifications.

Some of the cylinders may already be in my database, but additional information is always valuable and will help us build a more comprehensive resource for technicians who need accurate information when carrying out inspections and testing.

If you have technical information, drawings or specifications for cylinders that you’re able to share, please message me privately rather than posting the information here.

Your help would be greatly appreciated and will help us build a useful technical resource for technicians.

Thank you, and have a great day!

I’ve produced a new professional ASSET technical reference visual specifically for the CARBONDIVE 300 12 L cylinder, this time using the Worthington HPC05150 Rev.1 engineering drawing you supplied.

The important correction from the previous version is that we now have manufacturer drawing data for the 12 L cylinder showing:

MDWT: 2.8 mm
Minimum base thickness: 4.8 mm
Composite winding: 2.3 ± 0.5 mm
Working pressure: 300 bar
Hydrostatic test pressure: 450 bar
Autofrettage: 600 bar / 120 seconds
Minimum burst pressure on the drawing: 751.5 bar
Liner: 34CrMo4 steel
Carbon fibre + epoxy winding
Diameter: 181 mm
M25 × 2 EN 144-1 neck thread

The separate CARBONDIVE 12 L manufacturer sheet confirms the 10.9 kg weight, 630 mm length, 181 mm diameter and 300 bar service pressure.

The HPC05150 Rev.1 drawing is particularly important because it gives us the actual model-specific wall and base thicknesses rather than borrowing the 2.1 mm figure from the smaller Worthington HPC04100 design.

Have you come across CARBONDIVE cylinders before?

We have recently had some Worthington CARBONDIVE cylinders come into the workshop and I’d be interested to hear from other technicians who have experience with this type of cylinder.

Have you:

• Serviced or inspected CARBONDIVE cylinders before?
• Carried out periodic inspections or hydrostatic testing on them?
• Worked with the different sizes available?
• Come across any particular requirements or problems when inspecting or testing them?

What sizes have you worked with — 6.8 L, 12 L, or other sizes?

It would be interesting to hear from technicians who have actually worked on these cylinders.

Please share your experience in the comments.

What’s Hiding Inside Your Scuba Cylinders?

It is easy to look at a scuba cylinder from the outside and assume everything is fine. The real story can be very different once you look inside.

Moisture can enter a cylinder through the breathing-air filling system. One possible cause is a compressor filtration system that has become saturated and is no longer effectively removing moisture. Poor maintenance, overdue filter changes, unsuitable operating conditions, or another compressor fault can all contribute to excess moisture reaching the cylinder.

Once water is inside a steel cylinder, corrosion can begin. Over time, this can lead to rust, pitting and loss of material. For cylinders being filled with Nitrox or other higher-oxygen-content gases, the condition of the cylinder and the control of contamination become even more important.

This is why proper visual inspection matters.

A trained technician needs to know what to look for, how to assess corrosion and damage, how to use the correct inspection equipment, and how to make a professional decision based on the applicable requirements and standards.

At ASSET, our Cylinder Visual Inspection Course teaches the practical skills behind professional cylinder inspection — not simply how to look inside a cylinder, but how to inspect, assess, measure and document what you find.

A cylinder can look perfectly acceptable on the outside and still have serious problems inside.

Don't assume. Inspect.

Professional scuba servicing starts with the right bench setup.

A well-organised workshop is not just about looking tidy. It helps technicians work safely, protect delicate components, prevent contamination, and complete servicing in a controlled and consistent way.

The correct tools matter — from suitable spanners and torque tools to calibrated measuring equipment, regulator test systems, ultrasonic cleaning equipment and clean parts storage.

At ASSET, students learn more than how to dismantle and rebuild scuba equipment. They learn proper workshop discipline, correct tool selection, testing procedures and the professional responsibility involved in maintaining diving life-support equipment.

Correct tools. Correct procedures. Real workshop competence.

When carrying out a scuba cylinder visual inspection, one important question should always be asked:

What standard are you actually inspecting to?

Are you working to European and ISO-based standards, or are you following US DOT / CGA practice?

The answer matters.

Different countries may apply different rules, standards, and inspection expectations. That means a proper cylinder inspection is not just about looking inside a tank and saying it looks fine. It is about understanding which standards apply, using the correct calibrated tools, and making decisions you can stand behind professionally.

During inspection, threads need to be checked properly with the correct gauges, and any pits, dents, neck damage, or other defects need to be measured accurately — not guessed.

That is why technician training matters.

At ASSET, we teach technicians to inspect cylinders properly, understand the standards behind the work, and use the right tools for the job.

Visual inspection is not guesswork. It is a responsibility.

If you want to improve safety standards in your dive centre and gain proper certification in cylinder inspection, get in touch.

Join ASSET and train properly.
