FAQ
Q: Why do I need a spare cylinder for my SCBA?
A: Spare cylinders are critical for maintaining safety in environments with low oxygen or toxic gases. They provide backup air to ensure that workers can exit dangerous situations or wait for rescue without running out of breathable air.
Q: How long does a spare cylinder last?
A: Typically, a cylinder lasts between 30 to 60 minutes under average conditions.
However, the duration of a spare cylinder lasts depends on several factors, including:
The cylinder's pressure and capacity.
The air consumption rate of the wearer.
Q: How often should spare cylinders be inspected?
A: Spare cylinders should undergo regular inspections and maintenance as part of your SCBA program. Check cylinders:
Monthly for visible damage and proper pressure.
Annually for hydrostatic testing (required by regulatory standards in many countries).
After each use to ensure they're still in working condition.
Q: How should spare cylinders be stored?
A: Store spare SCBA cylinders in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from heat sources, chemicals, or any material that could damage the cylinder.
Ensure they are upright and secure to avoid accidental falls or damage.
Q: Can I use any cylinder as a spare?
A: Not all cylinders are interchangeable. Always use cylinders that are compatible with your specific SCBA model and manufacturer's recommendations. Key factors to check: Size and pressure rating (200 Bar or 300Bar). Thread types.
Q: How do I replace a spare SCBA cylinder?
A: When replacing a cylinder:
1.Remove the empty cylinder from the SCBA unit.
2.Attach the new, fully charged cylinder securely, making sure the valve connections match.
3.Perform a check to ensure the pressure gauge shows a full charge and the cylinder is locked into place properly.
4.Perform a functional test on the SCBA to ensure everything is working correctly.
Q: Can I refill a spare SCBA cylinder myself?
A: Refilling SCBA cylinders should only be done by trained personnel in a certified facility with the proper equipment. Cylinders are high-pressure vessels, improper refilling can cause damage or danger.
Q: What happens if the spare cylinder runs out during use?
A: If a spare cylinder runs out, the user should immediately exit the hazardous area. SCBA units typically have an alarm to signal when the air supply is low.
Q: Do spare cylinders expire?
A: Yes, SCBA cylinders have an expiration date based on their material, manufacturing standards, and use. Always check the expiry date and requalification schedule. Regularly hydro test is required.
Q: What certifications can you provide?
A: We offer MED B and D approval by DNV or RINA as per Directive 2014/90/EU on marine equipment (MED).
Q: How shall be cylinders be delivered?
A: It is strongly recommended to deliver them in empty status without charging for safe transport and ready for refilling according to local standards, ensuring easy compliance and handling.
For sure, these SCBA spare cylinders can also be delivered in charged status, as DG Cargo, higher transportation cost.
Q: What are the payment terms of EMF Marine?
A: Normally T/T 100% in advance for small orders. T/T 30% against order and balance before shipment for large orders. But we can discuss on special payment terms for some special orders.
