Carbon Cylinder supply Type 4 cylinders for firefighting applications to Fire Brigades all over the world, offering lightness and ductility, as well as a much longer working life than the previous types of pressure tanks.
The technological improvements that Carbon Cylinder brings to the field allow its composite cylinders to be the lightest on the market, to provide a longer service life and to be resistant to the decontamination process.
Lightness
At equal capacity, Carbon Cylinder pressure tanks are the lightest Type 4 cylinders on the market, weighting about 30% less than Type 3 cylinders (composite cylinders with aluminium liner) and four times less than Type 1 cylinders (steel cylinders).
Non-Limited Life (NLL) Certified
Type 4 cylinders are the only ones able to obtain the “NON-LIMITED LIFE” (NLL) homologation, which certifies that their service life is not limited. This means that, theoretically, the cylinders can be used as long as they pass the periodic re-test.
No Oxidation
Oxidation is completely excluded thanks to the cutting-edge solution of using a plastic liner. Carbon Cylinder pressure tanks are also able to resist a wide range of corrosive agents such as sodium chloride, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and sodium hydroxide.
Less Pollution & Eco-Friendly
With equal size, the transport of Type 4 cylinders is much easier, faster and less polluting, thanks to their lightness. Moreover, all the materials which the cylinders are made of, are entirely recyclable.
