Guideline for Care of High Pressure Cylinders for Underwater Breathing - 8th Edition
Steel and aluminum alloy compressed gas cylinders used for underwater diving service in self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) are exposed to extremely harsh conditions. Corrosion caused by seawater can weaken cylinders and residue from corrosion can clog valves and regulators resulting in reduced or blocked airflow. Proper maintenance ensures a long life, satisfactory service, safety, and reliability for cylinders used in underwater diving.
