Gemini marketing services supplies lightweight aluminium cylinders.
The features of the lightweight aluminium cylinders are:
Lightweight, easy to carry and position to allow a higher
Cylinder capacity-to-weight-ratio
Non-corrosive by design, aluminium has always been a
Good material for use in many caustic environments
Composite bearings on all moving surfaces guarantee no
Metal-to-metal contact, to resist side loads and increase
Cylinder life
Aluminium versus steel
Aluminium cylinders, while offering the most lightweight solution, also have some unique limitations due to material properties. It differs from steel in that it has a lower finite fatigue life. Aluminium cylinders should not be used in high-cycle applications such as production. These cylinders are designed to provide 5000 cycles at their recommended pressure. This limit should not be exceeded. In normal lifting and many maintenance applications, this should provide a lifetime of use.
