Luxfer’s LCX-EL cylinders are based on international design standards and have the potential for service lives of up to 30 years*. In environments where SCBA use is intermittent, LCX-EL cylinders provide fire service and industrial users the opportunity to use cylinders longer than the 15 years defined for standard carbon composite cylinders.
Though somewhat heavier than Luxfer’s standard LCX® cylinders, EL cylinders still provide significant weight savings over comparable steel and aluminum cylinders. Designed and manufactured in compliance with DOT-SP 14232, LCX-EL cylinders have a five-year requalification cycle.
