Products

L6X® – aluminium type 1 cylinders

Our L6X all-metal oxygen cylinders are manufactured from our exclusive L6X aluminium alloy, our proprietary formula of 6061 alloy.

L7X® – aluminium type 1 cylinders

Our L7X all-metal oxygen cylinders are manufactured from Luxfer’s higher-strength L7X aluminium alloy. L7X advantages include higher-pressure filling up to 3,000 psi and significantly more gas capacity with no increase in cylinder size or noticeable weight gain.

L7X® carbon composite medical cylinders

Luxfer has raised the bar with our L7X 300-bar, ultra-lightweight carbon composite medical cylinders that deliver greater volumes of oxygen in the lightest-weight packages available.

L7X® – aluminum hoop-wrap type 2 cylinders

Our L7X hoop-wrap cylinders are manufactured with inner aluminium liners made from Luxfer’s L7X higher-strength alloy that provides not only superior mechanical characteristics, but also significant weight savings. L7X liners are strengthened along the parallel cylinder sidewall with ultra-high-strength fibre wrapping, resulting in a high-performance cylinder that is compact, light in weight and extremely corrosion-resistant.

L6X® – carbon composite type 3 cylinders

Each ultra-lightweight L6X carbon composite oxygen cylinder has an inner liner made from Luxfer’s proprietary L6X alloy that is strengthened with an aerospace-grade carbon-fiber wrapping that completely surrounds the liner.
