General Info

Luxfer Gas Cylinders develops and produces seamless, extruded aluminum and composite high-pressure cylinders for the storage of gases. The company has five manufacturing sites in Europe and North America. Luxfer Gas Cylinders serves customers in major gas markets, including medical, life support, beverage, fire, scuba and specialty gases. Luxfer employs a hydraulic ram to press and shape a solid aluminum billet into a hollow shell, the open top of which is then closed and threaded. The result is a seamless, lightweight aluminum cylinder with a consistent wall thickness and naturally non-corrosive oxide finish that make it ideal for the high-pressure storage of gases. Composite cylinders feature a thin-walled aluminum core that is hoop- or full-wrapped in layers of carbon or fiberglass filaments. Luxfer Gas Cylinders was established in 1898 with its headquarters in Riverside, Calif.
