Your Trusted Source for Premium Dive Scuba Tanks — OEM/ODM Manufacturing from China’s Leading Gas Cylinder Factory
Sourcing a dive scuba tank that meets US safety standards, arrives on time, and fits your budget is the single biggest challenge import managers and brand owners face today. With over 10 years of expertise in high-pressure gas cylinders and specialty gases, Zhuzhou XingYe Chemical delivers ISO-certified dive scuba tanks in both steel and aluminum, backed by full OEM/ODM design support, 15-day lead times, and compliance with DOT/ISO/CE standards. Here is exactly how we help you secure a reliable supply chain — without compromise.
Why Most Importers Struggle to Find a Reliable Dive Scuba Tank Supplier
Every year, dozens of US-based brand owners and wholesalers tell us the same story: they ordered dive scuba tanks from an unknown factory, only to receive cylinders that failed hydrostatic testing, arrived months late, or lacked the proper DOT/ISO certification required for resale in North America. The result? Lost deposits, damaged client relationships, and costly re-certification fees.
The root cause is almost always the same — a factory that lacks in-house quality assurance, cannot provide genuine OEM/ODM design support, or simply does not understand US compliance requirements. That is precisely the gap Zhuzhou XingYe Chemical was built to close.

Technical Specifications — Dive Scuba Tank Models (2026 Lineup)
All our dive scuba tanks are manufactured using deep-drawn, seamless high-strength steel or 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. Each cylinder is individually tested and certified to meet US DOT‑3AA / DOT‑3AL and ISO 9809 standards. Below is a comparison of our most popular configurations for wholesale buyers:
| Model | Material | Working Pressure | Capacity (Water Volume) | Weight (Empty) | Certification |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XY-AL80 | 6061-T6 Aluminum | 3000 PSI (207 bar) | 80 cu. ft. (11.1 L) | ~31.5 lbs (14.3 kg) | DOT‑3AL, ISO 9809 |
| XY-ST100 | Seamless Steel (4340) | 3442 PSI (237 bar) | 100 cu. ft. (13.8 L) | ~42.0 lbs (19.1 kg) | DOT‑3AA, ISO 9809 |
| XY-AL63 | 6061-T6 Aluminum | 3000 PSI (207 bar) | 63 cu. ft. (8.8 L) | ~25.0 lbs (11.3 kg) | DOT‑3AL, ISO 9809 |
| XY-ST120 | Seamless Steel (4130) | 3442 PSI (237 bar) | 120 cu. ft. (16.6 L) | ~48.5 lbs (22.0 kg) | DOT‑3AA, ISO 9809 |
Full OEM/ODM Design — Your Brand, Your Dive Scuba Tank
For brand owners and sourcing agents, a generic off-the-shelf dive scuba tank does not build brand equity. That is why we offer end-to-end OEM/ODM design services that cover every detail:
- Custom color & finish — powder coating, anodizing, or wet paint in any RAL/Pantone code.
- Laser-engraved or screen-printed branding — tank collar, shoulder, or full-wrap design.
- Valve & regulator configuration — choose from K-valve, DIN, or yoke with your preferred thread standard (¾-14 NPSM, 5/8-18 UNF).
- Packaging & labeling — retail-ready box, polybag with hang tag, or bulk pallet with your logo.
- Gas filling & purity — we can fill with 99.5%+ diving oxygen (USP grade) if required, and supply the corresponding COA/MSDS.
Real example: In 2025, we helped a Florida-based dive equipment brand launch a limited-edition “Coral Reef” series — custom blue anodized aluminum dive scuba tanks with their logo laser-engraved. From design approval to FOB shipment, the entire process took 22 days.

Quality Assurance & Compliance — Built for the US Market
Selling dive scuba tanks in the United States means you cannot cut corners on certification. Every cylinder we export to North America is manufactured under a strict ISO 9001:2015 quality management system and independently tested to meet:
- DOT‑3AA / DOT‑3AL — US Department of Transportation approval for high-pressure cylinders.
- ISO 9809 — International standard for refillable seamless steel and aluminum gas cylinders.
- CE / PED 2014/68/EU — For customers distributing to Europe or requiring dual certification.
- COA (Certificate of Analysis) & MSDS — Provided with every gas-filled cylinder shipment.
- ECM (European Conformity Module) — Available for food-grade gas applications upon request.
In addition, we perform 100% hydrostatic testing at 1.5× the working pressure, plus ultrasonic wall thickness measurement on random samples per batch. Our test records are retained for a minimum of 10 years and can be shared with your quality team upon request.

After-Sales Support & Warranty
Every dive scuba tank we ship is covered by a 2-year structural warranty against manufacturing defects (seam failure, valve thread damage, or coating delamination). Our after-sales team is based in the same time zone as our factory (UTC+8) and responds to service tickets within 4 business hours. For US-based customers, we maintain a small inventory of replacement valves and O-ring kits at our consolidation warehouse in Los Angeles for expedited dispatch.
Note for import managers: We also provide free technical documentation — including filling instructions, hydrostatic test certificates, and a US Customs compliance letter — to help you clear your dive scuba tank shipment without delays.
What Our Buyers Say — Verified Feedback from US & International Clients
“I’ve been importing dive scuba tanks from Asia for eight years. XingYe is the first supplier that actually reads the DOT spec sheet. Their AL80s passed our third-party hydro test with zero failures. Lead time was 16 days — 9 days faster than my previous supplier.”
“We needed a custom Pantone blue tank with our logo for a hotel resort contract. The OEM team sent three color-matching samples in 48 hours. Final production was flawless — consistent finish, clean engraving, and every valve pre-tested. Will definitely reorder for 2026.”
“I represent six dive equipment brands in North America. XingYe’s factory audit score was 92/100 — the highest among the 14 cylinder manufacturers I evaluated in 2025. Their quality documentation is thorough, and their communication is direct, not salesy. That’s rare in this industry.”
“We ordered 2,000 steel dive scuba tanks for a government contract. XingYe delivered in three batches, each one exactly on schedule. The pricing was competitive, but what really impressed me was the consistency — every tank had the same weight, same thread finish, same burst pressure reading. That level of control is hard to find.”
