Steel Cylinder Features

Steel Cylinder Features:

We now distribute only Worthington Steel Tanks 
  • Built from Chromium Molybdenum steel plate
  • Utilizes the deep drawn process; the preferred method to build a steel scuba cylinder
  • This process yields a cylinder with a very uniform wall thickness resulting in a lighter, more efficient cylinder
Buoyancy
  • Superior buoyancy characteristics
  • These cylinders have been designed to be slightly negative at the end of a dive

Exterior Finish

  • The exterior of all our Scuba steel cylinders are hot-dip galvanized. This highly-demanded and preferred finish is utilized on all Worthington steel cylinders. Don't be misled by claims from companies distributing steel cylinders with painted exteriors. There is no better process to protect a steel cylinder from rust and corrosion than hot-dip galvinization!
