[PSUBS-MAILIST] Request identification of pressure air tanks.



Hi submadmans - I have a request. 

I can purchase two douzend units of second hand pressure air or gas
storage tanks from a scrap place - and they look like new. Unfortunatly
the are from foreign country - probably England or US. 

They have the size of our 50 Liter tanks and labeled as : 

MAW 4000 PSI APP 220 F/3 AT 200° 
MOWT 4° AT 4000 PSI
MAN FR N ° 4842/2/28/98
build 1998

The have one valve on the top and a tread hole on the bottom. 

I realize that 4000 PSI is about 275 atmosphere (bar) but is this the 
work, test or destroy pressure ? What means all the other marks ? 
The tread hole to drainage (?) the bottles is very unusual here - is
there a standard plug available ? Any help welcome. 

We have the first snow of the year today here and I make a quick picture
of my sub. It should be at the Moki files.
