Compact Scuba Tank Wholesale: Your Strategic OEM Partner for the US Diving Market
Sourcing a reliable compact scuba tank is a critical decision for US dive brand owners, import managers, and wholesalers. As the American diving market accelerates toward travel-friendly and lightweight gear, the demand for compact, high-pressure cylinders that meet stringent safety standards (DOT/ISO) while remaining cost-competitive has never been greater. At Zhuzhou XingYe Chemical Co., Ltd., we bridge the gap between China’s robust supply chain and the US market’s exacting quality requirements. For over a decade, we have supplied certified diving oxygen tanks and gas cylinders to international clients, offering flexible OEM/ODM solutions tailored to your brand’s specifications.
Why US Buyers Choose Us for Their Compact Scuba Tank Supply
US buyers face unique challenges when importing diving cylinders: inconsistent quality control, lack of valid DOT/TC certifications, high MOQs, and extended lead times. Our compact scuba tank program directly addresses these issues. We combine China’s manufacturing efficiency with a deep understanding of US compliance requirements, offering transparent pricing, full certification documentation, and flexible MOQs starting from just 50 units.
Whether you are launching a new travel dive brand or expanding your existing product line, our factory provides the stability, capacity, and customization you need to compete effectively.
Technical Excellence: Inside Our Compact Scuba Tanks
Our compact scuba tanks are manufactured from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminum alloy or chrome molybdenum steel (30CrMo). Every cylinder is designed for longevity, corrosion resistance, and safe high-pressure storage. Below are the key technical parameters for our best-selling models (standard configurations):
| Model | Material | Water Volume | Working Pressure | Weight (Approx) | Diameter |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XYD-AL3 | 6061-T6 Aluminum | 3L | 200 Bar / 3000 PSI | ~2.2 kg (4.8 lbs) | 89 mm |
| XYD-AL5 | 6061-T6 Aluminum | 5L | 200 Bar / 3000 PSI | ~3.8 kg (8.3 lbs) | 102 mm |
| XYD-ST7 | 30CrMo Steel | 7L | 300 Bar / 4500 PSI | ~7.5 kg (16.5 lbs) | 114 mm |

Factory Power: Quality Assurance & Supply Chain
Our dedicated facility spans over 10,000 square meters, housing automated heat treatment lines, robotic painting stations, and state-of-the-art hydrostatic testing equipment. With an annual production capacity exceeding 500,000 cylinders, we offer the scalability to handle large wholesale orders while maintaining strict quality control. Each batch is traceable, and we provide comprehensive documentation including Mill Test Reports (MTR), hydrostatic test charts, and Certificate of Analysis (COA).
Certifications & Compliance for the US Market
We understand that safety is non-negotiable in the US diving industry. Our compact scuba tanks are manufactured under strict ISO 9001 quality management systems and comply with international standards:
- DOT-SP 14758 / 10915-10 – For US market compliance and re-sale.
- TC-33M – Transport Canada approval for cross-border trade.
- ISO 7866 / ISO 9809 – International standards for gas cylinders.
- CE & UKCA – European and UK market requirements.
Every cylinder undergoes rigorous hydrostatic testing at 1.5 times the working pressure, followed by burst testing and 100% visual inspection before packing.

Trusted by US Dive Brands: Real Feedback from Our Clients
"We were struggling with long lead times from our previous supplier. XingYe provided a seamless OEM solution for our 3L compact tanks. The DOT certification paperwork was flawless, and the hydrostatic test reports were included with every batch. Highly reliable."
"The custom color matching and private label packaging options are fantastic. Our customers love the lightweight anodized finish. It's been a winner for our travel diving segment. Flexible MOQ made it easy to start."
"We have sourced over 2,000 units from XingYe over the past 3 years. The quality is consistent, and their logistics team handles the freight from China to Miami without a hitch. They are a true partner, not just a supplier."
Frequently Asked Questions About OEM Compact Scuba Tanks
Q: What DOT certification do your compact scuba tanks hold?
A: Our cylinders are manufactured to DOT-SP 14758 and ISO 7866 standards. We provide all necessary documentation for US re-sale and DOT registration.
Q: What is the MOQ for a private label compact scuba tank?
A: The MOQ for standard models (standard color/label) is around 50-100 pieces. For fully customized colors, packaging, and valve configurations, the MOQ is typically 500 pieces. We understand the importance of low MOQ for small to medium brands.
Q: Do you offer both aluminum and steel compact tanks?
A: Yes. We offer high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum alloy and chrome molybdenum steel (30CrMo). Aluminum is preferred for travel and corrosion resistance, while steel is often chosen for its durability and lower upfront cost.

Q: How do you ensure quality control for each batch?
A: Every cylinder undergoes hydrostatic testing at 1.5x working pressure. We also conduct batch burst tests, material composition analysis (MTR), and 100% visual inspection before packing. Third-party inspection (e.g., SGS) is welcome.
