I only know about the Air Product's ones I get. I have two at the moment stamped 47.2L and 50.4L. Are they typical? No idea. Sorry.

Thanks, the only stuff I found on the BOC website was about the different gases they sell not the sizes of cylinders that they supply them in.

Re: Supply cylinders

Can we please focus on the real issue here.
Why have the divers failed to adhere to the dive that they planned ??? If they are carrying out a dive requiring decompression then surely they would be carrying a suitable decompression gas, and would still have a third of their bottom gas left to use in the event they lost their deco gas.
Am I missing some thing here ???

You didn't tell us what you are smoking, where you got it and how much it cost. It sounds quite good.

So what you are saying is that next time anyone is blending at home they must leave the cylinder they are decanting from a third full?

Missing?

Re: Supply cylinders

Thank you for your sarcastic reply.
Perhaps if you were a kinder person you might have a friend.
