An Al80 is around 11.1 Litres IIRC, it is still possible to get old UK
cylinders occasionally, but these will require an eddy current test which makes
them an expensive maintenance proposition.  Luxfer no longer batches these
cylinders for the UK - though I have read on other lists that they would do so
for an order of 100.  

You can buy and import these cylinders from elsewhere (with non-UK stamping) 
but then some places will not fill them and getting them tested can be a
problem.  Check with Old Harbour Dive School in Weymouth as I understand they
previously could arrange testing against BS5430 - you get a certificate but may
still have difficulty getting them filled in many places.

 << File: ATT00006.htm >> Can any one from the UK tell me what the
equivalent of a AL 80 cylinder is and where I can get one, most people over
here seem to use 7lt AL. Ric Waring
