High Pressure and Acetylene Cylinders

 

Specialty Cylinders

The term "special" is essentially a product that is not part of the standard welding, medical or industrial gas distribution product line. These cylinders are divided into two broad categories.         

  1. Cylinders of capacities and dimensions considered "standard" by industry, but having special features of design or construction.

  2. Cylinders of special capacity, special length, special diameter, special PSI rating, or with combinations of all these characteristics.

T-W offers a selection range far beyond that available from any other specialty cylinders source.  Any one of the styles shown below is manufactured to the precise length, diameter, special steel and PSI rating you specify.  In addition to these eight most widely used styles,  T-W produces a variety of other special cylinders too numerous to list.  For this reason, even though the style of container you require is not included in the illustration, it is quite likely that T-W can provide the special cylinder you need.
