Refillable FM200 Cylinder with Replaceable Valve and 10 Year Design Life Seamless Steel Storage Vessel

Refillable FM200 Cylinder – Built for Low Long-Term Operating Cost

A 180L seamless steel vessel engineered to be refilled again and again instead of replaced. The cylinder body, valve thread and coating are specified for a 10-year design life, and the M25×2 valve can be serviced or swapped on site, so a discharge event costs you a gas refill rather than a new cylinder.

Where the Savings Come From

• Refill instead of replace: after a discharge or a pressure drop, the same vessel is recharged with HFC-227ea. No new cylinder purchase, no re-approval of the installation.
• Serviceable valve: the replaceable valve, burst disc and pressure gauge are separate line items, so a worn part is renewed on its own instead of scrapping the whole assembly.
• Standard thread and interface: M25×2 valve connection fits common filling equipment, which keeps refill labour time and cost predictable.
• Corrosion protection: internal shot blasting plus epoxy or polyester powder coating extends the interval between hydrostatic tests and touch-up work.
• Predictable spares: one cylinder model covers 40L to 180L pipe-network systems, so your warehouse stocks fewer spare parts.

Inspection and Refill Cycle

A six-month visual check of pressure gauge, valve and pipe connections; a periodic hydrostatic test per local code; refill with HFC-227ea whenever the gauge falls below the marked threshold or after any discharge. Refilling is carried out through the standard valve thread without removing the cylinder from the pipe network.

Typical Applications

Data centres, telecommunication rooms, electrical switch rooms, archives, museums, laboratories and industrial clean-agent systems where the cylinder bank stays in service for many years.

Scope of Supply

Seamless steel cylinder with epoxy or polyester powder coating, M25×2 refillable valve, burst disc, pressure gauge, siphon tube and protection cap. Volume, coating colour, valve type and nameplate language can be produced to order.
