Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
3AL means that the cylinder is constructed of specially prescribed seamless aluminum alloys and must be examined every 5 years to test its expansion characteristics. Type 3AA is constructed of heat-treated, high-strength steel.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Compressed gas cylinders should be capable of holding up to 10 more than the maximum fill-ing pressure as marked. 10  2050 = 205 + 2050 = 2255 psig.
