Imprint on the CO2 cylinder

[taysh75]

Hi Bro/sis,

I have a cylinder with imprint "CO2-2.3 TP250 V3.5 W6.72 BS 5045/1 2005/5" near the neck of the cylinder.

ANy idea what it means?
Does "V3.5" means a 3.5litre tank?

Thanks.

Cheers

cannot decode most of the stamped letterings.
what is important would be 2005/5. this is the date (month) when your cylinder was hydrostatic tested. there is a requirement where co2 cylinders need to be hydrostatic tested every 5 years. the test date is stamped on the neck of the cylinder.
when you were sold the cylinder, what were you told regarding the size? 3.5 litres?

Hee Hee. I got the tank from one of the bro in the forum. He told me is 3L. I am not sure what is the standard size of the tanks. eg 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3.4,etc
Not sure if 3L exists....So it thought the V3.5 might meant "Volume 3.5L".

Not sure if the interpretation is correct.
