During the process of Hot Dip Galvanizing, the exterior of our steel cylinders are submerged into 840°F molten zinc. The process deposits an 8 - 10 mil thick zinc barrier to protect against the corrosive ocean environment. This layer of zinc metallurgically bonds to the steel cylinder. It will not chip and wear away like a painted zinc finish. XS Scuba is so confident that exterior rust will not be an issue, we guarantee it for the life of the cylinder. If the exterior of your XS Scuba HDG steel cylinder rusts, we'll correct it for as long as you own the cylinder, without cost to you.
Steel Cylinder Features:
Manufacturing Process
Built from Chromium Molybdenum steel plates
Utilizes the deep drawn process; the preferred method to build a SCUBA steel cylinder
This process yields a cylinder with a very uniform wall thickness resulting in a lighter, more efficient cylinder.
Buoyancy
Superior buoyancy characteristics
These cylinders have been designed to be slightly negative at the end of a dive
Exterior Finish
A three-step, rust-preventative process
Consists of shotblasting, protective zinc coating, followed by a durable powder coat finish
Interior Finish
Highly-resistant to internal rusting
Phosphatized interior
Nitrox Ready
Cleaned and sealed at the factory
Free of hydrocarbons to a level of 40 mg per square meter
Ready for pre-blended Nitrox up to 40% FO2
Valves
All XS Scuba steel cylinders include the Thermo PRO valve
Convertible design allows for standard yoke or 230 bar DIN connections
Standard inlet thread (3/4"-14 NPSM) allows upgrade to any other Thermo valve
These valves are clean for pre-blended Nitrox up to40% FO2
Boots
Included with all XS Scuba steel cylinders
Quality, self-draining design.

Comments about XS-Scuba/Worthington XS Scuba Worthington Cylinders Hot Dipped Galvanized LP Steel 2400 psi. Tanks:
I use the LP95. It is a great tank. The only drawback is with my computer. I use the Sherwood Wisdom 2. I have to turn off the alarms for tank pressure. Otherwise computer thinks it's in low air situation. In reality I have a third of tank. I like my tank.

Comments about XS-Scuba/Worthington XS Scuba Worthington Cylinders Hot Dipped Galvanized LP Steel 2400 psi. Tanks:
I bought 2 of these tanks and reduced the amount of weight I had to load into the BC. (22lbs to 14lbs) with a 2 pc 7 mil suit. My son & I are very pleased with the tanks. I was thinking maybe of buying the 95 or possible 108 cf if the price was a little better.

Comments about XS-Scuba/Worthington XS Scuba Worthington Cylinders Hot Dipped Galvanized LP Steel 2400 psi. Tanks:
If you want more air in a smaller and lighter tank, this is a good place to start. On a 3000psi fill you get 94 cubic feet of air. Take some weight out of your belt if you have been using and aluminum tank, because the buoyancy characteristics are much better.

Comments about XS-Scuba/Worthington XS Scuba Worthington Cylinders Hot Dipped Galvanized LP Steel 2400 psi. Tanks:
These Steel tanks are perfect. Buoyancy is great. I use the 108 with about 10 lbs less lead. If you can get a fill to 3800 psi, You get 2 Full Al 80's worth of air. Steel LP are the best way to go.

Comments about XS-Scuba/Worthington XS Scuba Worthington Cylinders Hot Dipped Galvanized LP Steel 2400 psi. Tanks:
I think this tank is great...if you overfill it to 3000psi its 150cf...thats like carrying double AL 80s...except you don't have to deal with doubles and the added expense of filling them, (shops charge more to fill doubles). Not mention the extra cost of maintaining doubles with inspections yearly.

Comments about XS-Scuba/Worthington XS Scuba Worthington Cylinders Hot Dipped Galvanized LP Steel 2400 psi. Tanks:
Best tanks sold! Holds a lot of air & with them being LP you can still get a full air fill even if your filling off of a banked system. Most divers use AL80 tanks that fill to 3000PSI. With LP's your full at 2400PSI
If you don't mined your tank being a little heavy then you will love this tank! *I DO*

Comments about XS-Scuba/Worthington XS Scuba Worthington Cylinders Hot Dipped Galvanized LP Steel 2400 psi. Tanks:
Great tank...LP tanks get you more air because they can be overfilled by 10%. I have big lungs, so this is nice. That being said, the tank is crazy heavy and fairly bulky. I would buy it again and will. [...]

Comments about XS-Scuba/Worthington XS Scuba Worthington Cylinders Hot Dipped Galvanized LP Steel 2400 psi. Tanks:
great tanks vs aluminum 80s. Remove about 5-6 lbs of weight from your settup. Slightly smaller in size than a Aluminum 80. A little more air than a Aluminum 80. The same diameter as a Aluminum 80. If you go to a LP steel 95 the diameter goes up. Decent price when compared to a HP 100. Easy to get fills to the rated 2600lbs at any dive shop.
