Shelf Life Information

Crimp Closed Gas Filled Cartridges

Due to the closure method, these have 4 year shelf life. 

Protect  from heat over 120^oF and less than 32^oF.

Welded Closed Gas Filled Cartridges and Cylinders

The welded closure ensures an indefinite shelf  life.

Verification of the gas charge may be performed in the field with a scale

capable of reading 0.1g. Typically, there is a value marked known as

the 'Minimum Gross Weight'. The actual weight should read greater

than or equal to the marked weight.

Any gas filled cartridge or cylinder which shows red rust should be removed from service.
