  2. Three Basic Types • Steel • Composite • Aluminum

  3. Steel • Heavy • Limited Air Capacity • Increases difficulty of movement • Hydro Test every 3 Years • Susceptible to corrosion

  4. Aluminum • Lighter than Steel Heavier than composite • Susceptible to corrosion • More easily damaged than steel

  5. Composite • Lightest • Maximum air capacity • Non-corrosive • Tough • Non-repairable
