Pressed Steel Tanks

PST Scuba has been producing quality scuba cylinders for the past fifty years. PST has been designing these scuba cylinders with the novice, advanced diver and professional in mind. Divers all over the world have come to recognize the unique quality and reliability found only in the PST Scuba cylinder. The only scuba cylinder in the world to have a HOT DIP GALVANIZED EXTERNAL FINISH.

Painted steel tanks will rust when the paint is scratched or where the paint is scrapped off for the hydro stamp. As soon as a painted tank's paint is damage water tends to seep underneath the paint and corroding the tank where you cannot see. Extra care must be taken with painted tanks, while the Pressed Steel hot dip galvanized external finish provides superior protection and low maintenance.

E-Series Tanks

The E-Series tanks will be replacing PST's AquaAire Pro LP series and the AquaAire Sport HP series with the exception of the LP-80's and LP-45's, but pricing changes will take effect by the end of February on LP-80's.

All E-series cylinders will have an operating pressure of 3442 psi (230 bar). The cylinders will have 3/4-14 NPSM. The cylinders specification will be PST 's exclusive exemption, E-9791 and all E-Series will be hot dip galvanized. All cylinders are oxygen cleaned according to CGA G-4.1 from the factory.

How does the new E7-Series compare to the HP series?
The length of the E-Series will be about 1/8 longer than the HP series. The weight, diameter and buoyancy will remain the same. The new improvements are the NRX valve (Nitrox Ready combination Yoke/DIN valve), the new service pressure of 3442 psi, the new bigger standard sized threads for more valve and manifold options.

How does the new E8-Series compare to the LP series?
The 3AA specification, which is a 50+ year old specification, will be replaced with the E-9791 specification. The length, and diameter will remain the same. The tare weight will be reduced by two pounds and the buoyancy will move closer to neutral but will remain negative when empty for even better buoyancy characteristics. The LP-95 will be replaced by the E8-119. The LP-104 will be replaced by the E8-130. Plus ratings are no longer needed..

Dates above are the availibility dates that PST will start shipping to dive shops. They have encountered back orders so the actual delivery dates to you will vary based on where PST is on their backorders.
