Scott Safety introduced the Scott Extended Life (SEL) 30-year Cylinder into its range of cylinder options for the Air-Pak product. Offering a service life of up to 30 years and approved with both the Air-Pak 75 and Air-Pak X3 SCBA, this cylinder offering will provide customers with the opportunity to extend service life beyond that of a traditional carbon composite cylinder, thus extending cost savings and helping to maintain a low cost of ownership. The SEL 30-year Cylinder range will be available in 30-minute (shown), 45-minute, and 60-minute rated durations in a 4,500-psig working pressure and is approved to DOT specifications.

PLEASE NOTE: this 30-year service life is DIFFERENT than the hydro testing frequency. This bottle MUST still be hydro’ed at the DOT frequency, as is evident in SCOTT’s wording… “Offering a service life of up to 30 years”. The benefit of this bottle is that, as long as it passes its hydro, we have DOUBLED the previous life span of 15 years.
