Mountain High very light-weight composite reinforced (aluminium) cylinder for aviation use.
This cylinder is supplied with a DIN-477(-9) valve with pressure gauge that shows the amount in the cylinder at all times with the valve open or closed.
With the optional Full Pack carry bag the cylinder is intended for portable ‘carry-on’ applications or with the optional CMK cylinder hold-down kit for permanent mounting.
Glass fiber pressure vessels (CFF) use a single fiber type as the composite reinforcement. They are composed of the aluminum liner and resin impregnated structural S-Glass.
These pressure vessels carry the same degree of safety as a carbon cylinder but have a single material type as reinforcement which makes the cylinder more sensitive to surface damage.
They are DOT-SP 11005 rated.
This is a 3000PSI (207Bar) cylinder and requires Hydrostatic testing every 3 years from date of manufacture. It has a 15 year life limit.
Note: This cylinder is generally used in European applications where it can be filled to 207Bar.
Delivery is without a pressure regulator.
