In 1976,
Structural Composites Industries became the world's first producer of
DOT approved composite cylinders for commercial, military, marine, and
aerospace applications. With over 100 different models designed and
qualified at pressures up to 10,000 psi, chances are very good we have
a lightweight cylinder to meet your needs. The majority of SCI's cylinders
begin with precision aluminum liners which are then wrapped with either
fiberglass, carbon, Kevlar or other aramid fibers in an epoxy matrix.
The cylinders are then cured, individually pressure tested by 3rd Party
representatives of the US Department of Transportation, and then coated
per customer specifications with one or more of the many available colors.
Fiberglass composite cylinders are available in both fully wrapped and
hoop wrapped styles and are the most economical. They are approved as
per requirements for the widest range of gases and commercial applications.
