Gas Cylinders: Including CNG Type-1, Type-2, Type-3, industrial gas cylinders, 300bar high-pressure cylinders, and stainless steel cylinders (SUS316L/304) for ultra-high purity gases. Type-1 cylinders are made from seamless pipes or high-tensile steel plates, with super-light Type-1 cylinders featuring 1100MPa steel strength, making them 25% lighter than ordinary Type-1 cylinders. Type-2 cylinders incorporate a hoop-wrapped steel liner with glass fiber, while Type-3 cylinders consist of a thin aluminum or steel liner fully wrapped with high-strength carbon fiber composite. Industrial gas cylinders offer capacities from 1.7 to 82.5 liters, storage pressures of 150-300bar, and applications for various gases such as CO2, O2, N2, H2, He, Ar, Air, and Cl2.GasCylinders:IncludingCNGType-1,Type-2,Type-3,industrialgascylinders,300barhigh-pressurecylinders,andstainlesssteelcylinders(SUS316L/304)forultra-highpuritygases.Type-1cylindersaremadefromseamlesspipesorhigh-tensilesteelplates,withsuper-lightType-1cylindersfeaturing1100MPasteelstrength,makingthem25%lighterthanordinaryType-1cylinders.Type-2cylindersincorporateahoop-wrappedsteellinerwithglassfiber,whileType-3cylindersconsistofathinaluminumorsteellinerfullywrappedwithhigh-strengthcarbonfibercomposite.Industrialgascylindersoffercapacitiesfrom1.7to82.5liters,storagepressuresof150-300bar,andapplicationsforvariousgasessuchasCO2,O2,N2,H2,He,Ar,Air,andCl2.
Tube Skids: Providing various industrial gas tube trailers for He, H2, Ne, N2, Ar, and CNG, constructed with the same design as ISO containerized skids. Working pressures are set to national requirements or customer demands, including 166bar, 200bar, and 250bar.TubeSkids:ProvidingvariousindustrialgastubetrailersforHe,H2,Ne,N2,Ar,andCNG,constructedwiththesamedesignasISOcontainerizedskids.Workingpressuresaresettonationalrequirementsorcustomerdemands,including166bar,200bar,and250bar.
