Watch how a high-pressure aluminum or composite gas cylinder is made

An excellent documentary featuring Lyndsey at Luxfer Cylinders. If you ever wondered how a high-pressure aluminum or composite gas cylinder was made, watch this documentary as we step through the whole process.

I worked at Hydrospin in Huntington Beach, CA. USA before and after Luxfer bought the company. Later moved operations to Riverside. I operated the large drawbench and CNC machines for large diameter cylinders.

I am a current Luxfer employee in Riverside, California. I was initially hired to do pressure testing and hydro-wash for M-20 units (very small cylinders). Today I am functional in 6 different positions that support production of manifold products.

These pressure vessels still do destructive testing randomly throughout manufacturing. There are companies who short change on quality assurance like Boeing , Martin Baker with Martin Baker there was an issue with CAD for ejector seats in America the military change CAD every 6 months and test them on a test rig out of 3000 CADs 3 failed miserably and all NATO air force jet fighters were grounded for 90 days until the problem was resolved even aerospace components have failures .

That's easy, the red one is used for Coca Cola.

Coca-Cola has a working pressure of about 3.8 atm and they tested these bottles to 180 atm. So i bet it's either propane, or alternatively it's actually Her Majesty's thermos, and she buys them in bulk as they're a great christmas gift
