TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
1 2 3
The seamless polymer
liner for gas containment
acts as a gas barrier
The fiber structure
holds the pressure
and prevents the burst
of the pressure vessel
under extreme
conditions
The fully integrated outer
casing protects the valve, the
pressure vessel and from the
environment around it. This
gives the Ragasco cylinder its
unique and dynamic
appearance
