EXPLOSION ALERT: SCUBA TANKS
They explode at less then 3,000 psi/200 bar.
Please check all your tanks. If they were made by Luxfer and they are older then 06/88 (first hydro test) empty them IMMEDIATELY.
Aluminum alloy 6351 use from 1975 to 1988) may explode with no notice at operating pressure, if you do not test tank tread every year with Eddy Current tool for sustained-load crack
It happen to me yesterday while filling tanks. No one injured.
