Dive Tank dimensions??

[Steve]

I'm in the process of building lockers and storage for some of my heavier
gear, low in the boat. I have room ( I think) for a couple dive tanks but
right now I don't have any around to take measurements from. (my sons ran
off with them years ago.)

I think the aluminum singles would be best. I'm not a diver myself and don't
remember what the capacity is for these typically.

Anyway for the purpose this storage, I need the dimensions of these single
tanks. Diameter, bottle length and overall length.

Any help or recommendations would be appreciated.

My steel 70 is about 30 inches high and 7 inches in diameter. They
come in a few different sizes.

Thanks Joe,

Does that 30 inches include the valve??

Probably the best idea is to go to a dive shop and measure some.

from my tanks (circa 78 and '87)
Luxfer Alum 80's
mine are 30" tall to valve top
at 25" the tank shoulder starts curving in
the valves are 3 to 3.25" tall
valve width is 4 for a K and 4.6" for a J
7.5" diam with boot

measurements are approx and eyeballs are not calibrated :^)

since you specified alum ... to be safe I'd also check the luxfer web
page along with catalina. if you can't find their pages, yell

www.omsdive.com has measurements for tanks (steel) = faber

Thanks, that web site had all the dimensions I wanted. It looks like, if I
make my storage cradles for 8" dia and 34" long they will hold just about
any size tank that area available.
