gas is stored in high pressure cylinders having a filling pressure of 2900 PSI
(200 bar) and a test pressure of 4830 PSI (333 bar).
The 66.7 and 80 Liter cylinders are spaced 12 in. (305 mm) apart and can be installed in single,
double and quadruple row configurations. The 15.9 Liter cylinder, used for smaller protected
spaces, is usually mounted separately.
Because Argonite is stored as a non-liquefied gas, dip tubes are not used, allowing the cylinders
to be installed either vertically or horizontally, as required. All rack configurations are for vertical
mounting only.
