The T-Size High Pressure Gas Cylinder is a cornerstone of industrial gas storage and distribution, designed to meet the rigorous demands of manufacturing, fabrication, and laboratory environments. Manufactured from high-strength alloy steel, this cylinder is engineered to contain compressed gases at high pressures, typically ranging from 2400 PSI to over 2640 PSI depending on the specific gas service and wall thickness. The T-size form factor is one of the largest standard high-pressure cylinders available for general commercial use, offering a substantial balance between manageable footprint and maximum gas volume.
Built to strict Department of Transportation (DOT) specifications, usually DOT 3AA, this cylinder undergoes rigorous testing including hydrostatic expansion tests to ensure structural integrity. The vessel features a heavy-duty neck ring designed to accept a standard threaded safety cap, protecting the valve assembly during transport and storage. With a diameter of approximately 9.25 inches and a height of roughly 55 inches (excluding the valve and cap), the T-size cylinder provides an internal volume capable of holding approximately 300 to 337 cubic feet of gas, making it a preferred choice for stationary manifold systems and heavy-duty workstations.
This cylinder shell is versatile and can be valved for a wide variety of inert and oxidizing gases. While commonly used for Oxygen (CGA 540) and Inert gases like Argon, Nitrogen, or Helium (CGA 580), the underlying vessel integrity remains consistent. The steel construction is treated to resist corrosion and withstand the rough handling typical of industrial supply chains. Its substantial weight, often exceeding 145 lbs when empty, necessitates the use of proper material handling equipment, such as cylinder carts or overhead hoists, to ensure safe positioning and transport within a facility.
