We will not fill or Hydro test tanks made from 6351 Aluminum Alloy! These tanks are known to develop Sustained Load Cracking at the neck of the cylinders and have the potential to rupture! SLC is a thoroughly researched and well-documented metallurgical phenomenon that occasionally develops in cylinders made from 6351 Alloy, as well as in other types of pressure vessels and structural components under stress for sustained periods of time. SLC has occurred in cylinders manufactured by various companies, including Luxfer. Cylinders that have been mechanically damaged, over-filled, or otherwise abused are more susceptible to SLC, which is not a manufacturing defect, but a phenomenon inherent in the metal itself.
This is a list that we will not fill or hydro test!
