Our Sales team, consisting of Chris Kourcklas, James Murphy, Reed Lawless, and Phillip Meyer, recently returned from the 2026 GAWDA Spring Management Conference in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Day 1 kicked off with an amazing opening reception featuring a live band. Attendees enjoyed a night filled with friendly competition at arcade games and shooting hoops.

Monday was a packed day that began with a networking breakfast, followed by GAWDA presentations on the pros and cons of AI in the compressed gas industry, educational sessions on financial reports to maximize profits and how to pe*****te and cultivate relationships with family-run businesses, and, of course, the contact booth program. Our booth was busy from start to finish, providing our Regional Sales Managers (RSMs) with excellent opportunities to engage with customers. A recurring theme mentioned by several customers was how busy everyone is, and it seems the spring boom is expected to continue.

Overall, it was a windy but productive and enjoyable tradeshow. While in town, our RSMs managed to catch Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, where the OKC Thunder faced the San Antonio Spurs, with the Spurs emerging victorious.
We hope everyone made it home safely, and we look forward to seeing everyone at future GAWDA tradeshows later this year!

At Cyl-Tec, Inc., we take our sports seriously! As a special thank you to our employee-owners for their hard work and to continue celebrating our 35th Anniversary, we secured two suites for the Crosstown Classic baseball game. On Saturday, May 16th, the Cubs faced off against the White Sox at Rate Field (formerly known as Comiskey Park).

We all boarded the bus at Cyl-Tec headquarters and arrived in style at Rate Field. Once there, we were escorted to our private suites, where we enjoyed delicious food and drinks while taking in the amazing view of the field. It was a fantastic experience! After the White Sox won, there was some friendly grumbling from the Cubs fans and cheering from the White Sox fans. Overall, everyone had a wonderful time, and it was a great opportunity for some fun!

What do you need to know when looking at the shoulder stamping on a 300 CF DOT cylinder?

DOT or the Department of Transportation sets safety regulations on the manufacturing of portable cylinders used in North America. The DOT is involved because High Pressure cylinders are transported by road while in a full and pressurized state.

🔷 A feature of a DOT cylinder is the REE (Rejection Elastic Expansion) stamp which corresponds to the (+) symbol indicating an allowable 10% overfill above its marked pressure.

🔷10% Overfill or the (+) symbol comes pre-stamped into all Cyl-Tec DOT cylinders, however, depending on the gas service the cylinder goes into, it can void the stamp.

🔹For example, the (+) stamp is allowed for inert gases such as Oxygen, Argon, and Nitrogen. (view CFR 173.302a (b))

🔹The (*) stamp is not allowed for liquified gases, Division 2.1 Flammable gases, and Division 2.3 Poisonous gases. (view CFR 173.302a (b))

🔷 The 10-Year Re-Test or the (Star) symbol comes pre-stamped into all

Cyl-Tec DOT cylinders, however, depending on the gas division the cylinder goes into you can void the stamp and the cylinder has the standard 5-year re-test.

🔹The (*) Stamp is allowed for inert gases such as Argon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Helium. (view CFR 180.209 (b))

🔹The (+) stamp is not allowed for liquified gases like Carbon Dioxide. (view CFR 180.209 (b))
