Product description
The Carbotainer B13 Composite Gas Cylinder (200 Bar) is an advanced lightweight gas cylinder engineered for the safe storage and transportation of compressed industrial gases. Manufactured using a high-strength aluminium alloy liner reinforced with carbon fibre and protected by a durable thermoplastic outer shell, the B13 offers exceptional strength while weighing almost three times less than conventional steel cylinders.
Designed for maximum efficiency, the B13 features Carbotainer’s patented Smart Carbon Cylinder (SCC) technology with an integrated RFID chip. This enables automatic identification, digital asset tracking, simplified inventory management, and seamless integration into filling plant operations without the need for manual barcode scanning.
With a 13.3-litre water capacity, 200 bar working pressure, and an empty weight of only 9.1 kg, the cylinder provides an excellent balance between gas capacity and portability. It is suitable for a wide range of industrial gases, including oxygen, nitrogen, argon, helium, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and gas mixtures.
The cylinder complies with EN 12245 standards and features a 30-year approved design life. Its impact-resistant construction, polyurethane shock protection, and robust valve guard ensure reliable performance in demanding industrial, offshore, food processing, and medical environments. Unlike traditional steel cylinders, the Carbotainer B13 requires no transport cage, reducing logistics costs while improving storage efficiency.
Whether used for gas distribution, manufacturing, laboratories, or industrial processing, the Carbotainer B13 provides a safer, smarter, and more economical solution for compressed gas handling.
