Type 4 Carbon Composite cylinders with Aramid Fiber & PET Liner
Innovation of SAFER® cylinders have reduced the weight of the cylinders in comparison to the steel & carbon composite aluminum liner cylinders. This is achieved by using PET liner material and construction with high-quality carbon and Aramid fibers.
Description
Aska’s latest innovation, the SAFER® cylinder, uses a form of carbon made of a single layer of carbon atoms, known as graphene. This makes it the thinnest material with an extremely high surface area-to-volume ratio. The result is a carbon composite cylinder that is not only incredibly lightweight but also up to ten times stronger than steel.
This breakthrough design ensures exceptional strength and durability while reducing the overall weight of the cylinder. The advanced carbon composite cylinder technology is ideal for applications requiring high performance and portability, making it a revolutionary choice for modern safety equipment and industrial use.

What are Type 4 Carbon Composite Cylinders?
Type 4 cylinders are lightweight, high-strength pressure vessels made with a non-metallic polymer liner (PET) overwrapped with carbon and aramid fibers. They are designed for storing gases under high pressure, such as in SCBA systems.
What materials are used in these cylinders?
These cylinders utilize a PET liner combined with high-quality carbon and aramid fibers. The PET liner provides the gas-tight seal, while the composite overwrap offers structural strength and impact resistance.
What is the working pressure of these cylinders?
The cylinders are rated for a working pressure of 300 bar, suitable for high-pressure gas storage applications.
What is the service life of these cylinders?
The cylinders have a service life of 20 years and are PESO approved, ensuring long-term reliability and safety.
How do these cylinders compare to Type 3 cylinders?
Type 4 cylinders are lighter than Type 3 cylinders, which have an aluminum liner. The use of a PET liner and composite overwrap in Type 4 cylinders reduces weight without compromising strength.
Are these cylinders compliant with international standards?
Yes, these cylinders comply with EN standards, ensuring they meet international safety and performance requirements.
What sizes are available for these cylinders?
The cylinders are available in various sizes, including 2L, 4.7L, 6L, 6.8L, 8L, and 9L, catering to different application needs.
Are these cylinders suitable for SCBA applications?
Yes, these cylinders are ideal for Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) systems, providing lightweight and reliable air storage solutions.
What is the advantage of using aramid fibers in these cylinders?
Aramid fibers, known for their high strength and impact resistance, enhance the durability and safety of the cylinders, making them suitable for demanding environments.
Where can I purchase these cylinders?
These cylinders can be purchased directly from the ASKA Equipments website or through authorized distributors.
