Various configurations of harness may be used by the diver to carry a cylinder or cylinders while diving, depending on the application. Cylinders used for scuba typically have an internal volume (known as water capacity) of between 3 and 18 litres (0.11 and 0.64 cu ft) and a maximum working pressure rating from 184 to 300 <a href="/wiki/Bar_(unit)" title="Bar (unit)">bars</a> (2,670 to 4,350 <a href="/wiki/Pound_per_square_inch" title="Pound per square inch">psi</a>).

Most aluminum cylinders are flat bottomed, allowing them to stand upright on a level surface, but some were manufactured with domed bottoms.

The oldest type is a tube with a connector on each end which is attached to the cylinder valve outlet, and an outlet connection in the middle, to which the regulator is attached. A variation on this pattern includes a reserve valve at the outlet connector. The cylinders are isolated from the manifold when closed, and the manifold can be attached or disconnected while the cylinders are pressurised.<sup id="cite_ref-WatersportPublishing_41-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-WatersportPublishing-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>More recently, manifolds have become available which connect the cylinders on the cylinder side of the valve, leaving the outlet connection of the cylinder valve available for connection of a regulator.

This apparent inconvenience allows a regulator to be connected to each cylinder, and isolated from the internal pressure independently, which allows a malfunctioning regulator on one cylinder to be isolated while still allowing the regulator on the other cylinder access to all the gas in both cylinders.<sup id="cite_ref-WatersportPublishing_41-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-WatersportPublishing-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These manifolds may be plain or may include an isolation valve in the manifold, which allows the contents of the cylinders to be isolated from each other.

The constraints on filament wound composite cylinders will differ: </p><p>There are a small number of standardised outside diameters as this is cost effective for manufacture, because most of the same tooling can be shared between cylinders of the same diameter and wall thickness. A limited number of standard diameters is also convenient for sharing accessories such as manifolds, boots and tank bands. Volume within a series with given outside diameter is controlled by wall thickness, which is consistent for material, pressure class, and design standard, and length, which is the basic variable for controlling volume within a series. Mass is determined by these factors and the density of the material. Steel cylinders are available in the following size classes, and possibly others:<sup id="cite_ref-Vitkovice_catalog_55-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Vitkovice_catalog-55"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li>OD = 83mm, 0.8 to 1.8 litres</li> <li>OD = 100mm, 2.0 to 4.75 litres</li> <li>OD = 115mm, 2.5 to 5.0 litres</li> <li>OD = 140mm, 4.0 to 15.0 litres</li> <li>OD = 160mm, 6.0 to 16.0 litres</li> <li>OD = 171mm, 8.0 to 23.0 litres</li> <li>OD = 178mm, 8.0 to 35.0 litres</li> <li>OD = 204mm, 10.0 to 40.0 litres</li> <li>OD = 229mm, 20.0 to 50.0 litres</li> <li>OD = 267mm, 33.0 to 80.0 litres</li></ul> <p>Wall thickness varies depending on location, material, pressure rating and practical considerations. The sides of the cylindrical section are sufficient to withstand the stresses of a large number of cycles to test pressure, with an allowance for a small amount of material loss due to general corrosion and minor local damage due to abrasion and normal wear and tear of use, and a limited depth of local damage due to pit and line corrosion and physical damage. The amount of damage and material loss allowed is compatible with the visual inspection rejection criteria. Steel cylinders are designed for test stresses to be below the fatigue limit for the alloy. The wall thickness is roughly proportional to diameter for a given test pressure and material strength – if the diameter is double, the basic wall thickness will also double. Wall thickness is also proportional to working pressure and test pressure for a given diameter and material specification. The cylindrical section has the lowest wall thickness, and it is consistent within manufacturing tolerances for the entire cylindrical section. </p><p>End thickness allows for considerably more wear and tear and corrosion on the bottom of the cylinder, and the shoulder is made thicker to allow for the variabilities inherent in the manufacturing process for closing the end, and for any stress raisers due to the process of permanent stamp marking. To a large extent bottom thickness distribution of a steel cylinder and shoulder thickness of all metal cylinders are influenced by the manufacturing process, and may be thicker than strictly necessary for strength and corrosion tolerance. Faber steel cylinders to CE standards have slightly decreased in mass for the same cylinder size from 2023. A 200 bar 15 litre cylinder with 203mm outside diameter domed bottom, reduced from 16.2kg to 145kg. The equivalent 232 bar cylinder reduced from 18.2 to 16.7kg.<sup id="cite_ref-Faber_lighter_56-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Faber_lighter-56"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>56<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Buoyancy_characteristics">Buoyancy characteristics</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Diving_cylinder&action=edit&section=28" title="Edit section: Buoyancy characteristics"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The density of a cylinder is concentrated in the ends, which are relatively thick walled and have a lower enclosed volume per unit mass. The details vary depending on the specification, but this tendency is common to both steel and aluminium cylinders, and is more extreme in flat or dished ends. As a consequence, long narrow cylinders are less dense than short wide cylinders for the same material and the same end configuration, while for the same internal volume, a short wide cylinder is heavier than a long narrow cylinder. </p><p>Buoyancy of a diving cylinder is only of practical relevance in combination with the attached cylinder valve, scuba regulator and regulator accessories, as it will not be used underwater without them. These accessories are attached to the top of the cylinder, and both decrease the buoyancy of the combined unit and move the centre of gravity towards the top (valved end). This affects the cylinder orientation for sling and side mount. </p><p>Back mounted cylinder sets are generally not removed during a dive, and the buoyancy characteristics can be allowed for at the start of the dive, by ensuring that the diver has sufficient reserve buoyancy to float with the cylinders full, and sufficient ballast to remain submerged when the cylinders are all empty. The buoyancy compensator must be sufficient to provide some positive buoyancy at all depths with full cylinders. Adjustments to ballasting can compensate for other buoyancy variables. Inability to remain consistently immersed at the shallowest decompression stop can lead to incomplete decompression and increased risk of decompression sickness. </p><p>The change in buoyancy of a diving cylinder during the dive can be more problematic with side-mounted cylinders, and the actual buoyancy at any point during the dive is a consideration with any cylinder that may be separated from the diver for any reason. Cylinders which will be <span title="See entry on this page at § stage-dropped" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #86a1ff; color:initial;"><a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_underwater_diving_terminology:_P%E2%80%93S#stage-dropped" title="Glossary of underwater diving terminology: P–S">stage-dropped</a></span> or handed off to another diver should not change the diver's buoyancy beyond what can be compensated using their buoyancy compensator. Cylinders with approximately neutral buoyancy when full generally require the least compensation when detached, as they are likely to be detached for staging or handed off when relatively full. This is less likely to be a problem for a <a href="/wiki/Solo_diver" class="mw-redirect" title="Solo diver">solo diver</a>'s bailout set, as there will be fewer occasions to remove it during a dive. Side-mount sets for tight penetrations are expected to be swung forward or detached to pass through tight constrictions, and should not grossly affect trim or buoyancy during these maneuvers. </p><p>A major manufacturer of steel cylinders, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Faber_Industrie_Spa&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Faber Industrie Spa (page does not exist)">Faber Industrie Spa</a>, claim that their steel cylinders are neutral or slightly negative when empty, but do not specify which pressure rating this refers to, or whether this takes into account the cylinder valve.<sup id="cite_ref-divefaber_57-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-divefaber-57"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>57<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <table class="wikitable"> <caption>Table showing the buoyancy of diving cylinders in water when empty and full of air </caption> <tbody><tr> <th colspan="3">Cylinder specification </th> <th colspan="2">Air capacity </th> <th colspan="2">Weight in air </th> <th colspan="2">Buoyancy in water </th></tr> <tr> <th>Material </th> <th>Volume<br /><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r886047488">.mw-parser-output .nobold{font-weight:normal}</style><span class="nobold">(litre)</span> </th> <th>Pressure<br /><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r886047488"><span class="nobold">(bar)</span> </th> <th>Volume<br /><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r886047488"><span class="nobold">(litre)</span> </th> <th>Weight<br /><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r886047488"><span class="nobold">(kg)</span> </th> <th>Empty<br /><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r886047488"><span class="nobold">(kg)</span> </th> <th>Full<br /><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r886047488"><span class="nobold">(kg)</span> </th> <th>Empty<br /><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r886047488"><span class="nobold">(kg)</span> </th> <th>Full<br /><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r886047488"><span class="nobold">(kg)</span> </th></tr> <tr> <th rowspan="8">Steel </th> <td>12 </td> <td>200 </td> <td>2400 </td> <td>3.0 </td> <td>16.0 </td> <td>19.0 </td> <td>-1.2 </td> <td>-4.2 </td></tr> <tr> <td>15 </td> <td>200 </td> <td>3000 </td> <td>3.8 </td> <td>20.0 </td> <td>23.8 </td> <td>-1.4 </td> <td>-5.2 </td></tr> <tr> <td>16 (XS 130) </td> <td>230 </td> <td>3680 </td> <td>4.4 </td> <td>19.5 </td> <td>23.9 </td> <td>-0.9 </td> <td>-5.3 </td></tr> <tr> <td>2x7 </td> <td>200 </td> <td>2800 </td> <td>3.4 </td> <td>19.5 </td> <td>23.0 </td> <td>-2.2 </td> <td>-5.6 </td></tr> <tr> <td>8 </td> <td>300 </td> <td>2400 </td> <td>2.9 </td> <td>13.0 </td> <td>16.0 </td> <td>-3.6 </td> <td>-6.5 </td></tr> <tr> <td>10 </td> <td>300 </td> <td>3000 </td> <td>3.6 </td> <td>17.0 </td> <td>20.8 </td> <td>-4.2 </td> <td>-7.8 </td></tr> <tr> <td>2x4 </td> <td>300 </td> <td>2400 </td> <td>2.9 </td> <td>15.0 </td> <td>18.0 </td> <td>-4.1 </td> <td>-7.0 </td></tr> <tr> <td>2x6 </td> <td>300 </td> <td>3600 </td> <td>4.4 </td> <td>21.0 </td> <td>25.6 </td> <td>-5.2 </td> <td>-9.6 </td></tr> <tr> <th rowspan="3">Aluminium </th> <td>9 (AL 63) </td> <td>207 </td> <td>1863 </td> <td>2.3 </td> <td>12.2 </td> <td>13.5 </td> <td>+1.8 </td> <td>-0.5 </td></tr> <tr> <td>11 (AL 80) </td> <td>207 </td> <td>2277 </td> <td>2.8 </td> <td>14.4 </td> <td>17.2 </td> <td>+1.7 </td> <td>-1.1 </td></tr> <tr> <td>13 (AL100) </td> <td>207 </td> <td>2584 </td> <td>3.2 </td> <td>17.1 </td> <td>20.3 </td> <td>+1.4 </td> <td>-1.8 </td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="9">Assumes 1 litre of air at atmospheric pressure and 15 °C weighs 1.225 g.<sup id="cite_ref-gas_diving_58-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-gas_diving-58"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>58<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><br /> Cylinder, valve and manifold weights will vary depending on model, so actual values will vary accordingly. </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Applications_and_configurations">Applications and configurations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Diving_cylinder&action=edit&section=29" title="Edit section: Applications and configurations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Tec_diver_with_sidemount_tanks.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="The front view of a standing diver ready for the water is shown.

In some open circuit scuba systems this can happen quite suddenly, from a normal breath to the next abnormal breath, a breath which may not be fully drawn. (There is never any difficulty exhaling). The suddenness of this effect depends on the design of the regulator and the internal volume of the cylinder. In such circumstances there remains air under pressure in the cylinder, but the diver is unable to breathe it. Some of it can be breathed if the diver ascends, as the ambient pressure is reduced, and even without ascent, in some systems a bit of air from the cylinder is available to inflate <a href="/wiki/Buoyancy_compensator_(diving)" title="Buoyancy compensator (diving)">buoyancy compensator devices</a> (BCDs) even after it no longer has pressure enough to open the demand valve. </p><p>Using the same conditions and a reserve of 50 bar, the formula (4) for usable breathing time is as follows: </p> <dl><dd>Ambient pressure = water pressure + atmospheric pressure = 15 <a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_underwater_diving_terminology#msw" title="Glossary of underwater diving terminology">msw</a>/10 bar per msw + 1 = 2.5 bar</dd> <dd>Usable pressure = fill pressure - reserve pressure = 200 bar - 50 bar = 150 bar</dd> <dd>Usable air = usable pressure × cylinder capacity = 150 bar × 18 litres per bar = 2700 litres</dd> <dd>Rate of consumption = surface air consumption × ambient pressure = 20 litres per minute per bar × 2.5 bar = 50 litres/min</dd> <dd>Usable breathing time = 2700 litres / 50 litres per min = 54 minutes</dd></dl> <p>This would give a dive time of 54 min at 15 m before reaching the reserve of 50 bar. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Reserves">Reserves</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Diving_cylinder&action=edit&section=49" title="Edit section: Reserves"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>It is strongly recommended by diver training organisations and codes of practice that a portion of the usable gas of the cylinder be held aside as a safety reserve.
